Best Selfishness Poems


Premium Member Selfishness
Why are some so selfish,
So cruel and unkind?
It seems to the cares of others,
They've been born deaf and blind.

When it comes to their own feelings,
They are easily bruised.
One must tread most carefully,
Not to make them feel abused.

They think quite highly of themselves,
Think they can do...

Festival of selfishness.
Only few host them.

Excuses all good
To avoid that this people
Endangers our wealth....

Premium Member No Selfishness
My ego is never enlightened to my own selfishness 
I think that is a sense of meaninglessness
Now days to help someone it is very imperative,
That for God I use my talents to be creative
To bring peace I want to sing this song, spreading joy so...

Love Binds, Selfishness Confines
Alone in my world of solitude, admitting this feeling of mine
my desire to let go and cry, is nothing short of benign
nothing I think to do can elevate, sensing my emptiness to blame
my pain and anguish intimidates, bringing with it this shame

These words I hope...

The Expense of Your Selfishness
pointlessness of the same lies
taught from you to me
only im the victom
of when will you wash your hands clean

what are you doing in my life anyway?
 howdo i  surround myself in your will to do good when its not there?
a pointless nightmare i live...

How Selfishness, the Self Did Betray
How faithfully I gave you priority 
I even built you a Queenly home
As the centerpiece of my Life.

How reverent I was to your desires
I even built you a sacred temple
Where like a star your interests shone, 
As I looked at you; 
Bowed - with glittering...

The Selfishness of Hearts
Joy in sorrow 
Laughter in pain 
No expectation of giving 
But all of receiving. 

Hands wide open. 
Greed in his eyes 
Only receiving fine things, 
rejecting the old. 

But how could you, 
through moral laws, 
reject a gift 
when it's been given? 

Not all hearts...

Selfishness Is the Worst Thing In Life
Every Person ever born 
will go through the worst moment of their life,
the moment death or tragedy strikes
and though not all alike all will suffer alike

In those worst moments 
all are saved by the people around them
the comfort and support they bring

The worst thing possible...

The road of self-interest that politicians follow, leads the country and its people to their doom!

Selfishness Corrodes Love
SELFISHNESS CORRODES LOVE
Selfishness corrodes love
Than any other does.
Since love is a responsibility
And not only
A whim in one’s heart.
In love, give!

Love long for
A favorable environment.
If you won’t nourish it better,
Slowly
It find its  way out
Without any of you two
Come to know.
Simple like a bee
Seeking a new...

Premium Member Everyone Is Unreal Now
It is not all about us
It is all about me.
My feelings, my hopes, my dreams.
Get out of my thoughts; you take too much time

You are begging for attention
Annoying me
So I run toward the hills 
To be alone, with my best friend, me.

Your ads come on...

Premium Member Sorry Closed
No goods today
No table spare
Contraction themed
Hole round, not square

Diversion signs
A blocked traverse
A clear sans passage 
A please reverse 

The flower that
Just won't unfurl
The shell that clamps
Around a pearl

No open heart
No mind that's free
A fist so tight
It's plain to see

We have too much
It may be truth
A...

In your parched desert land
As the pendulum swings
And your friends are all gone
Still you’re moving right along
Like it doesn’t mean a thing

In your parched desert land 
Thinking life’s unforgiving
Why not swallow your pride
Take an honest look inside
Join the land of the living

In  your parched...

On Making a Difference

It does not matter how much money I have.
Nor how many medals or trophies I own.
Making a difference in the lives of others is 
the way to live, I was shown.

Living as if I were the Hope Diamond under 
glass, is no...
