Lived Or Never
Self-praising and self-boasting
Two tools to satisfy the ego
Self-appraisal and self-checking
The two tools for Introspection
Some live in their own den
And talk about them
They derive pleasure out of it
And seldom think what other thinks about
They are so confident about self
That they live in their own world
Aloof, alone and secure life
They are the world of self
By the time they come face to face
With the truth, they are done with
They become examples to quote
As I they came into the world and never lived
