"Altruism Vs Narcissism" Poem by Sarah Lynn Jackson

"Altruism Vs Narcissism"

Rating: 5.0


People are so much into looking good and on "fleek",
Instead of actually paying attention to the poor and weak,
They're more involved to what's on their phone,
Not knowing most people can't even afford a home,
Girls are caught up in looking their best, even though beauty is only skin deep - Not caring for what the price is for makeup,
While homeless people are sleeping in the park with almost nothing, with most of them fall asleep and never wake up,
Stop, look around you instead of being caught up in ones wealth,
Instead, get up and lend a helping hand and stop trying to perfect your own self.

This is sadly true. The world focuses more on itself than the people around them. I love this and it's a big eye opener to people

It's true most people only think of what they can own, it's how the world is sadly. Great poem.

Girls are caught up in looking their best, even though beauty is only skin deep - Not caring for what the price is for makeup, philosophical, moral and going to the extent of being spiritual........ write more and let your philosophical thinking mnd flower....... thank u dear poetess. tony
