Array ( [sid] => 177463 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Self Centered.... [time] => 2013-12-29 14:53:46 [hometext] => [bodytext] => 29:12:2013....

In life are you always fair?
Would you offer an old lady your chair.
Do you reach out your hand to give.
Or hold both only to receive.
Why on earth are we so self centered?
At some stage in life we were all mentored.
On what is the right thing to do.
Cause heaven knows we don't want to stand in another's shoes.
Yet through our thoughtless actions.
We allow our foolish decisions.
To affect the lives of our neighbors.
And turn everything they do into labor.
We as humans only want to take.
Believe me this is a horrendous mistake.
When we all start to give.
We shall certainly all receive!

Good poem and good point. We all start out as "me me me". It just depends on our choices and environment from then on. Thoughtful subject matter. Blessings, S.

I am constantly pleasantly astounded by the wisdom i read in so many poems on this site, this one of yours is no exception,, it reads like a commandment, your words are powerful and sublime,, a moral code to adhere to,,, great great poem,, that is much more than a poem i think,, xxx great work.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
