Short Self Important Poems

A vain, self important baboon
Would preen as he made ladies swoon
Chin chiselled and firm
A blonde curly perm
His butt still looks like a balloon...

sharp words 
scratching against the fabric 
of civilized society
slowly tearing apart 
the structure
of reason and tolerance
ignorant assaults  
launched by loud
self-appointed
self-important
self-aggrandizing 
fools...

Small men do exist
Maybe it’s their egos
Maybe it’s their es
Either way they do not care
Attacking innocent people
Killing women and babies
Bombing without sight
They want the world to bend over
Accept them as a god
But everyone knows they are no gods
Just self-important jokes

Need
to step
back.
Wound 
tight
we are.
spun up
from birth.
Force fed
all we know.
Everything 
we know
from one 
tiny place.
One mote
of 
spacetime.
Self important 
are we.
Self important 
we think.
Controlling,
manipulating
changing the
world. 
Other ways
exists in
different 
places.
Perspective 
need more
perspective.
Much to
learn.
Infancy still....

I,
A solitary expression of monumental proportions,
The sum of all parts with extra to spare,
The word and the meaning at once,
Selfish and lonely,
I,
When it's me, I am everything,
When it's you, I don't care,
All for one, and one for one,
The cart before the horse,
I,
Self-reliance, self-sufficient,
Self-effacing, self-indulgent,
Self-absorbed, self-righteous,
Self-made, self-important,
But without you,
I don't exist.

(7/28/92)...
