Had a look at Wayne Glew, having a go.'

Clues.' Seems confused about Porepunkah.' Then i am too.' A shotgun
Is not a precesision firearm.' A strange
Stew, two men down no ballistics statistics spoken..Which shoud be simply reported to my notion.? Brian Naylor a real
News anchor 'would had basic info to share with the state and Nation.' Another
Officer first reported shot in the leg.' Now
It is the shoulder..Which is closer to the head.' Now some bait is lured, 'up to a mill ?' They've said.' Sort of like having a price on his head..Meanwhile a crime wave is hitting Melbourne town, shops robbed three to four times in twelve hours.' Stressfull to the mind.' I see the strain on
My people, niw don't think on this I'm going
To be fine!!!

Self-Centered

Falling apart hurt
From feeling so wrong, so right
For egoistic heart.

Premium MemberSome Say

I've heard some say
Life is short. 
Enjoy. Enjoy.
Do enjoy while you can.

So some say:
Do the eat, drink and be merry dance
   for now is here 
   and domani be quite questionable.

Push aside all others. They just get in the way.
Be first in line.

Ignore the poor. 
What have they to do with you? 
They wouldn’t be needy if they worked harder, 
Right?

What? No ticket for tomorrow in your pocket?
No matter—you can always steal one.

Life is short.
Enjoy the enjoy.
However you can.
While you can.

And many a day
I’ve heard some so say,
say without the words,
say with the doing, 
that just-for-me-nobody-but-me-me-ism.

So I've heard some say.
So I've watched some live.

Premium MemberMe and Me

A selfish yes
An unkind no
Blind eye to pain
Deaf to insane.

Pray how 
does one retrace
for to find    that forgotten face 
to touch   that trembling hand
the soft unheard   to hear
the blank unseen   to see.

Pray how 
does one unchain
a lifetime of links   serpentine...
    I hooked to me
    me addicted to I
I for me
and me for me.

All the ways and all the days
all   of the all   of everything
that always be
just for me.

Can Be Conceited and Self Centered

should have spent more time
with dear ones that I do love
meant so much to me

can be conceited
is way that they want to be
meets their own purpose

do put pills in drawer
will not spill them anymore
know what they are for


had been deep in doubt
so brought whole bottle out
with glee she did shout

when we start to swing
different tune would always sing
 with me Bible bring

Premium MemberBe Kind Anyway-Tribute To Mother Theresa

People are often unreasonable 
And self-centered 
Forgive them any way
If you are kind people may
Accuse  you of ulterior motives
Be kind any way
If you are honest people 
May cheat you
Be honest anyway 
If you find happiness people 
May be jealous 
Be happy anyway
The good you do today 
May be forgotten tomorrow 
Do good anyway 
Give the world the best you have
And it may never be enough 
Give your best anyway 
For you see in the end
It is between you and God
It was never between you and them
Mother Theresa of Calcutta 
A heart of pure gold
You cared for the unwanted 
You gave joy to the unloved
And you stood by the uncared for
Continue to rest in bosom of the lord

Premium MemberSelf Centered Diabolical Scarlet O'Hara

Fiddle Dee Dee Scarlet says when asked to nap with the other girls
I want to party she argues, dancing with her feet, her hair in curls
She sneaks down to where the men are and takes Ashley off
Expressing her love which is rebuffed, she hears a man’s cough.

It is that renegade, Rhett Butler, who is a scoundrel and a scamp.
You are no gentleman sir she says, and flounces off in a stamp.
Rhett is immediately smitten, and decides to woo this little pretty.
The Yankees are coming, Civil War is taking a toll on Atlanta’s city.

Belle from the brothel gives money to Melanie for the troops.
Melanie is Ashley's wife; she, takes it with appreciation, no hoops.
Scarlet marries sister’s beau, Mr. Kennedy when she sees he is rich.
Scarlet is truly a conniving, self-centered, diabolical b……

Gone with the Wind has humor and laughter and heartache galore.
I would ask that you read it yourself before I spoil it by telling you more

Premium MemberSelf Centered Tranquility

Inside of our embryonic bubble, 
immune from outsiders trouble 
Blissfully detached, so unaware 
without any single, worldly care
Permanent ecstatic, numb state 
contented, equilibrious, sedate 

Seemingly impossible, extreme 
I can barely, realize in a dream 
Perhaps zoned out, on cocaine 
goofing off, to Nirvana’s Cobain 
Serotonin’s, absolutely buzzing 
my perfect lover, she’s stunning 

Is this just being, self centered 
never have to run, take shelter 
Am I the only one, of this kind 
perhaps, have a one track mind 
Unable to think, beyond today 
godless aberration, in disarray 

Helping out others, feeling used
giving to charity, getting abused 
Being judged, pretend neighbors 
giving service, looking for favors
Lock me up, in a heavenly tomb
like it was, inside mothers womb

Good intentions, bring confusion 
everyone wants, easiest solution 
Do no bad or good, its the same 
agnostic, but that’s just a name 
Put all this together, and add up 
joyous poem, or equally corrupt.

Inspired by, but not for, Unseen
seekers (joy continuum contest)

Ignorance

Self absorbed, inconsiderate,
Thinking only of yourself,
Your disregard for others is palpable,
You lack feelings for others health,
Focusing on your own pleasures,
Fun is more important than rules,
Egotistical, self-centred, narcissistic that's you,
Your thoughts are "I will worry if I catch it",
Just remember those around you could catch it from you,
A deadly virus is not a game,
Your lack of concern is a crime,
Your opinionated you dont see the bigger picture,
You just carry on enjoying yourself,
Breaking all the rules you just dont give a dam,
Your empathy for others is so sweet ........ NOT

Premium MemberBeing With a Non Listening Talker

Talking. Talking. Talking. At first it is fun, maybe even entertaining.
You are not sure exactly sure when it turns, but it does.
Suddenly the monopolizer’s ramblings no longer seem charming.
Patience worn thin, you try a few times to interject a word.
There is no pause, no break. Constant talking. Inane talking. Nonsense talking.
You try blatant rudeness. Still no pause.
Suddenly you are annoyed, irritated, angry.
It is the same feeling you get as when you put your turn signal on and watch
Incredulously as six cars and a truck speed up, so you miss your turn off the freeway.
Rudeness personified.  Self-centeredness to the inth degree.  Magnificently selfish.
I walk away as she obtusely, self-absorbed, is still talking, talking, talking.
She yells  after me in a way that indicates that I am the rude one.
 I wave, resolving to forevermore avoid this non-listener
 like the plaque that she is.

Self-Centered

“Do you see any leg wound, my friend
I feel some pain, see drops of blood -
the road we passed was stained.” The horse
asked the cat, who detests blood or mud.

“I don’t know,” answered the cat, nestled cozily
in a bag strapped on the horse’s back.
“I didn't feel any discomfort that might have
been caused by your change in stride or slack.”

Selfish and Self-Centered

Why people are selfish,
why people are stylish,

Why they are on high tower,
Is that because of useless power,

Whenever their mind is gonna be wash,
They usually interrupt and say Gosh!

Dirtiness has stuck on their minds in big chain,
whom high power detergents could also n't strain.

Premium MemberSelf Centered ;)

Ahhhhhhhh, to be full
	to have no empty place……reside
Full of the merely physical
	or of the roaring tide.

Ahhhhhhh, to be full
	of wonder, potential growth..inside
Full as sunlight on the moon
	in mystery abide.

Full of man, as women born
	 and man encased …………beside.

Bereft of longing…just FULL
	my own love of I.
