Self Centered Greed
4/24/24
I've played plenty
On my conscious life weighed heavy
I have to stay ready
Then aim steady
Obstacles I will face many
Can't give ground or let them take any
These snakes pesky
Often they petty
Life can get way deadly
One big crazy medley
That sometimes became sketchy
After turning strange and messy
When it all begun
At first it seemed fun
But now I constantly need one
Its

From feeling so wrong, so right
For egoistic heart.

Some 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

Me 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...

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

Be 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

Self 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

Self 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

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

Being 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

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

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.

Self 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.
