Egomania

The narcissistic eye ogles itself in the glass; Which egoistic orgy well paints Man's greed. His self-elevating smiles mirrors easily prove As crude hungers only selfish deeds can feed. And so do you still continue to wonder why Conceited doctors thrive while patients die. You know the inscrutable reason lawyers grin, All the way to the bank as grimey outlaws win. The grim riders who usurp others' right of way Typify paedophiles who maul wee infant souls. And barbarian cops firing shots at calm folks, Subtly tell the cold despot's vainglorious goal. Do not look far to behold villainous monsters Who top filthy lists of most-wanted gangsters, When you daily spot many self-serving priests With Bible-like Kalashnikovs and soiling wrists. In our most common dispositions you'll note, Ugly human gluttonies of every cannibal sort.
