Best Egocentricity Poems

Monks and nuns,
ascetics and miscellaneous humble proletariat folks,
were taught custody of the eyes,
to show respect for those older
and/or wiser
and/or more supremely royal,
and/or in other positions of merited or inherited authority,
to avoid appearing too curious
too available
too interested,
to avoid temptations
of lust and envy and gossip,
to avoid that...

THERE IS NO MUSIC

There is no music, I hear no more song.
Is it really true that we are all gone?
Yet life does continue without any rush,
And the music now heard, is the song of a thrush.

So many creatures lost during our time 
In a split...

Who Owns a Poem?

Could I call a poem – a poem
if I titled it as such
or would this egocentricity
cause the poets to turn on me?

Words - shifting sands - rolling stones
shadows cast by meatless bones
memory’s nostalgic noose
tormenting the bottled goose.

Three shelled game – poet as...

Whatever Happened To Glasnost And Perestroika?

Hobbit those characters who lived 
within the realm 
of John Ronald Reuel Tolkien
as far removed as
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
upon squelched cusp of progressivism,
now most likely 
experience bitterness at the autocracy
of Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.

Impossible mission to believe
amidst audacity, atrocity, egocentricity,...

After enduring their egocentricity for centuries…Gaia could no longer wait…so she summoned every entity on the planet…to listen to the debate.

“The humans think they are more important than all of you.” Gaia said….This was met with laughter from all the non-human guests
“I wanted to give...

Vanity and desire innately compulsive
distort the ethos of obdurate ego,
conditioning the vision to look at others,
for self-consciousness turns opaque layer.

Divine intervention in life reborn,
shreds the strata of opacity,
plain self-image escapes egocentricity,
gets transfixed within empathy frame.

In the hued horizon of the new life
the nascent sun of...

Heroism Dream

They have forgotten the athletes.
Heroically, I run to grab
as much of the vaccine as I can find.
I dash through the tunnel 
to where they are about to board the bus.

But I must return to make an appearence
at the dinner party
and I forget the needles.
You...

Yesterday I saw a man with no face
Today he is still yet the same
“Tomorrow”, he said, was his name

He told me of a place where time never moves
A place where the world can not find you
A better place to call home
Need only convince yourself it...

searching through the rubble
of shattered egocentricity
sculpting reality from the substance

I have listened to your moaning,
A voice that trembles with pride;
I have felt your anger so violently,
Thinking you were about to subside.

I have sought shelter far away,
Where all-inclusive tranquillity reigns;
Silence is complete without being traced,
While my mind all sanity regains.

An augment of egocentricity you are,
Not...

Against the evil that enslaves,
our musculature
is the reading and information....
that reveal freedom...
Evil makes wars
we make fight... evil does
malice, egocentricity, ignorance
stupidity, cause us
cognitive gaps... but
The righteous fight
with literature,
lucidity

We must dialogue with
the thought, Plato,
Socrates,
Beauvoir...
Dialogue is our meeting...
  dialogue with everyone
That's how we create resistance...
against hate,

Bits and pieces they say makes the whole
A whole of what I can't help but ask
Bits and pieces of pain - despondence
Bits and pieces of lies - distrust
Bits and pieces of self - egocentricity
Whatever be your chosen assort.

So,

The bits and pieces you chose...

In the landscape of entangled existence,  
we traversed life on the path of no essence.
Ego chasing the mirage of endless desire,
wandering cynical in wasteland made us tire. 

Vanity and craving innately compulsive,
distorted the ethos of obdurate ego obsessive,
conditioning the myopic vision to look at...
