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

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

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...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
