Love of Music

I say to you 
There a man or woman who has no music in them
Not moved by sweet soothing a melody or rhythm 
Is prey for bad thoughts and selfishness

Premium Member Selfishness

I did a selfish and inhumane thing you see
I've been having a problem with my TV
At last I said "I'm sorry my friend"
And to the beautiful Maple, put and end.

'til our selfishness we know,
on pendulums we swing
as emotions sing,
reason has no place
'til faith we will unlace
and humility let flow

The Nobel peace prize for selfishness please.
I know a woman who could win with ease.
I’ll go get her now.
She is an un-wow.
Her stinginess generates a real freeze.

About Selflessness

I'm old enough now to make new friends,
Let me find an enemy, so as to know true amity.

We've been always sharing selfishness,
But let's make our way towards selflessness.

Musings

In her longing, in her selfishness
She doesn’t remember that
The one she desires 
Is just one fistful of bones.
Bones that come out of the crematorium
In just five minutes

An 
ambitious man 
may
achieve his goals

but 

his soul will not benefit

if she understood his full evilness
in his utter selfishness
would her love for him wane

if she discerned his mysterious self
hidden away quite nicely
would she take love and run?

Hoodwinked for many years
Exploited all I gave to you

Tainted by your selfishness
Enveloped in your lies
Recreant that you are

Premium Member If You Died

If you died
My arms will feel empty
My path cut short
Languidly pacing
I, I… I can’t seem to
End it
To die and be with you
Will my selfishness for life
Ruin my home
And bring you strife

The Exposure

Riches advertise the rich
on bill board of selfishness
Power is a wind-driven canoe
that drowns the brutal
Poverty is the television set
that exposes rot of heart
in society that cares not

Monster I'Ve Become

Selfishness runs through my blood
It flows through my veins like hot lava
It seethes in my mind like burning coal
It rips through my flesh like tiny serpents
It's made me the monster I am today

Gods

I made myself my god
In selfishness I loved you
But not how you needed to be loved
Now looking back I can confidently say that I failed you
Just as I failed the real God
The God who is not me.
