Shelves and Selves and Selfies

Here is an introduction to my poem:

Senator Cruz of Texas was using the 
word cogent in the news recently. 
People are taking pictures of themselves 
and calling them selfies. I combined
these two items together and wrote
this poem. Here goes.

Around for a while we all would scout
Trying to find out what is was about;
When we arrived found a lot of shelves
With pictures people took of themselves.

Was it ludicrous what we seemed to miss?
Or instead of a selfy, showed up selfless
Trying to think we might be mystical
Some even said we had been egotistical?

Incredibly, you continue to say cogent
Never knowing what it may have meant
Before whole world soon came to an end
Great picture of me to you intend to send.

PS.

May have to add Selfies 
and selfy to my dictionary.
