[hometext] => I can trace all the worlds problems to one word. I even find it in myself.
[bodytext] => Introduction: It is sad the many struggles we will face and all the destruction we will bring down upon ourselves because of this one word. It must have been hard to give your heart to men who would run away When you faced your greatest struggles that caused great physical pain I remember reading in the book you sweated blood all to bring me redemption through power and love How easily I forget when I'm hurt what you went through I do not treat people the same way as you do. People wonder why there's murder It grows out of our hatred People wonder why children die in a world of starvation It is such a simple answer even I do not believe Selfishness brings out the worst in me. Cain killed his brother Abel instead of immitating him We often think that we are better than those that we live with And when we do that we're just like Cain full of anger and much grief We only want the best in life to make ourselves complete And we wonder why starvation exists with in our land No one wants to work together we want things given to our hand If we look at life real close it is easy for to see Selfishness brings death and misery If you don't plant a seed of hope it will never grow The seed needs more than knowledge of what we think we know And when the seed is planted It will die within the ground but a tree of love will grow to help us out And we wonder why theres theft In the neighborhoods we live We just try to get ahead without having to give Only when some one is taken that was very close to us Do we think the world's in need of change for what it will be for us and there's a simple answer for the why we think this way Selfishness holds our hearts at bay If you do not believe me read your news paper today Selfishness brings out the worst in me * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * It's so hard to be a giver when all around us we see grief only few get what they wish for but it is not what they need We use excess to cover troubles We are unwilling to believe "Selfishness brings out the worst in me" Help me learn to be a giver Save me from evil desires I watch the people as they perish they are unwilling to believe "Selfishness brings out the worst in me" [comments] => 8 [counter] => 174 [topic] => 21 [informant] => Archie [notes] => Edited for Spelling as Requested by Moderator_15 [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 29 [ratings] => 6 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

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. ©
