Just a few less dreams

Just a few less dreams

All night they were spitting at tame,
Mashed their toes with rubber hammers.
To think they are happier than you,
Maybe smarter,
Not afraid,
Don’t.
 
Then they woke them up with cold water,
In the dank basement, chained.
To think that they are not alone,
That there’s no pain on their faces,
That they are not lost,
 
Don’t.

The meaning....well, among the other things it means: don't envy anyone, because although you suffer it doesn't mean that people you envy have anything more or better in their souls.
