Poem Title:
Poem
Those totally consumed with self don’t view the world through humane eyes. Ambition is not wrong, they feel. To strive to reach the top is wise. True narcissism goes beyond mere drive to have the best in life. It smothers all esteem of others* and blinds them to another’s strife. For those who worship self and gain, it takes a great catastrophe or else, for some, a still small voice* to shake them so the truth they’ll see. With ego shorn and now reborn, the rescued start to see the light. Their love for others resurrects.* They help the challenged in their plight. They still want to acquire the best, but self is not their lone concern. To be supreme in our own eyes is simply wrong. This, all should learn. entered in the Ego Shorn Here Now Reborn Poetry Contest Received NA on July 14, 2022 December 3, 2022 Contest: Writing Challenge-X'd Poems Second Chance Poetry Contest Sponsor: Constance LaFrance Placed 1st
