a self centered drunk

Heeding extreme hot weather warnings.
Dogs are seen tiptoeing on scorching asphalt.
Seeking a patch of grass.

Confess About Trump

Confess About Trump

About Trump what we must confess;
Everyone like him will have to dress;
Self-centered for sure,
And is no known cure;
Favorite thing to do is create stress.

Negative emotions destroy, damage the personality of a person. Constant negative thinking makes person selfish, aloof, self-centered and damage good will; damage image of that person. ~x~

That's When Death Kicks In

heart swelling, beating hard,
that's when death kicks in,
took my heart and carved
a deep black hole,
guess I'm on a role,
everyman seems to detect,
this girl, self-centered and egoistic,
i guess i have this effect.

Premium Member Don'T Care For

Not interested in sharing
I am self-centered
Not interested in fighting
I only want what is mine
Not interested in pretending
I like my face
Not interested in baiting
I don’t want to fall in
Not playing game
I am tired, ha
I just want to play

Premium Member Greed


One of the seven deadly sins-

the one named Greed can't be outdone,

with selfish goals and swindled wins

that please a cheap, self-centered one!

A Short Hypocrocy

Im a little bit of what I see in everyone else. An exasperating inconvenience, ill-
disposed and argumentative. I want to hate you but then I would have to hate 
myself. Self-centered, stingy, and stupendously sarcastic. I want nothing more than 
for you to change.

Premium Member Youth

I knew not where my riper be,
for green was yet my high:
obsessed with all reflection within~
the backside of my eye; such
self-centered youth, though often
berated...while its lose I secretly
sigh

God often losing a young man's ear
near the upper part of his thigh

Who Am I

My impatient self-centered desires
are infinitesimal 
and totally lack significance 
when compared to the complexity 
of my God’s master plan 
for our reality. 

Therefore 
by the grace of God 
I have faith
that God is always with me 
and will never forsake me.

Greedy Witch

Margretta was a self-centered old witch
Who overnight wanted to become rich
She flew in broom throughout the night
Collecting all money at sight
Next day she couldn't walk , she had jock itch

People

Everyone seems to be wearing a 
mask

Who in this world can I trust?

Everyone seems so self centered, 
reluctant to share

Is there someone who truly cares?

Sometimes these people are 
amicable

Sometimes these people are cold

What exactly are they?

A friend or a foe?

Americas Dream

A demonstration,
Of black and white,
Showing through as a beacon of light.
I have a dream, 
Four words
With a meaning so big,
Thats more difficult to understand than anything.
Forty-seven years have passed.
Really? are we this self-centered?
America as a whole, we could do better.

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 Member Stingy, Stingy

~Stingy, Stingy~


There once was a poet named
Stingy,
Who loved only himself, what a 
pathetic, lost dingy!
One day, poor, lost soul, fell on his
self-centered duff.
Furious that 34 comments were
simply, not enough!

A Cold Heart

It's a cold, cold heart
 that cannot feel
someone else's pain.

It's a heart without feeling
 that averts its eyes
to the ravishings in the world.

It's a self-centered ego
 that feels the nothing
but its own need to be noticed.

It's the turmoil of the heart and soul
 that never knows
what it is to love.

Jagged conversations incomplete lines
Importance of understanding null~void
Oh! Self-centered heart upon thyself dine
Jagged conversations incomplete lines
Scent of rancid fish cast in pickled brine
Only your stories, other stories avoid
Jagged conversations incomplete lines
Importance of understanding null~void

Premium Member 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.

KINDNESS 

            Kindness is basic realization
            to sense and feel pain of one another.
           Self-centered person does never bother.
           Kindness builds up right civilization.

Premium Member Such Waste

Such waste of pen,
if your only subject
self-centered men;

Such waste of pencil,
if vain women the 
stencil, patterns and
frames of your poetry – 
her many loves
and woe-it-try!

And if Nature
and her creatures 
are your features...

Why God only first
and last? – a few words
before rest, and a brief 
recital upon rising....

Premium Member The Mourning of Broken Humanity

What a waste of humanity
to be so cold
seeing children die
whining I can not sleep
a monkey indeed
self centered
self centered constipation
we all see their lies
brain dead for sure
no empathy
no butter
for the prisoners
of their abuse
poor poor Zionists
slaughtering thousands
yet like their old logo, former Naza
fear their own demise
