The Selfish Issue

How selfish do you want me to be?
Oh just stop abusing me!

What was I like in the past?
In a sinking ship upon the mast

But able to find a raft
Know I wasn't quite so daft!

Why in the world was I born?
It wasn't just for Satan's scorn!

There is a reason that God made
It doesn't mean just be afraid!
