I

IT MAY SEEM A LITTLE SELFISH TO EVEN THINK,
THAT IT IS I,
THAT COMES FIRST,
BEFORE ANYTHING.

WHEN SPEAKING OF SELF,
I .........STARTS THE STEPS,
BEFORE YOU TAKE,
YOUR FIRST BREATH
TO EXPLAINATION,
TO CONFESS.

OTHERS SHAKE THERE HEADS,
AT SUCH SELF-CENTERNESS,

BUT REMEMBER THIS,
THEY ARE JUST AS GUILTY,
BUT SOME AFRAID TO ADMIT IT.

CALL ME WHAT YOU WILL,
SAY WHAT YOU WANT,
CAUSE IF IT WASN'T FOR I OR ME
THERE WOULDN'T BE A DISCUSSION,
NOW,
WOULD IT BE???????
