The Following

If Narcissus was around these days Thank God that he is not He would be very pleased to see The following he’s got Imagine him on Instagram Or on Twitter, let’s assume Do you perceive the immensity Of the throng he’d have to groom? He’d teach them about self-interest Their ego they’d adore And what they want and what they need They’d push that to the fore Apologizing they would know not Respect, nonexistent too And dare not give them what they want Good luck I’d wish to you They’d prey on your emotions They’d make your life a hell You wouldn’t know that from the start Most often you couldn’t tell Still, this is the breed of nowadays The egomaniac Who goes against them, you’ll see They’ll push your life off track I’ve also noticed, and with fear That the narcissist now thrives Lord help us, give us lots of strength Or just simply save our lives.
