Selfishness Is A Wild Tumor Poem by Meshack Dasco

while thinking loud on a metaphor
that best fits the word -selfishness -
cancer fits.

little bit it grows
consuming the big whole
bit by bit till none is own.

the future matters not to it
but the present is its best hit-
eating, gathering, rooted till death spits.

people inflicted by it -
succumb to 'unhealthy' sorrows
to cover their naked shame prior to morrow.

what goodt then do you have
to habor a weird tumor?
nothing goodt comes from brooding
personal gains but personal groanings.

live life like the sun
shine to me
let me shine to you!
