-Self Absorbed

My feelings for today
Are some people just display
Total disregard for others

In a confined space
With many people in place
All you can think about is You

Aware only of yourself
Complete dismissal for anyone else
Where does such arrogance come from?

You feel superiority to the rest
No compassion do you possess
How did you become so self absorbed?

You selfishness causes confusion
Creating doubt and disillusion 
Disappointment in mankind

Believing rules don’t apply to you
You just do what You intend to do
Is the utmost contempt

No spoken word will set you straight 
Or will ever resonate 
As  for you…. You are all that matters!
