Eradicated In Selfishness Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Eradicated In Selfishness

Rating: 5.0


Pain and suffering cutting me to the quick, finding and
losing love because of the jealousy and selfishness of
others who claim to love us.

Loving only the ideas they've formed for our lives in
their own minds, choosing behaviors conforming to what
they see in their jealous minds.

Being negligent of other's needs to be together, finding
common ground in their love, all of it being eradicated
in selfishness of those who claim to love this couple.

In reality being jealous of what they have, tearing apart
the fidelity and commitment they've made to one another
already.

Another jealously, gleefully and sadistically prying two
people apart with lies they are telling them separately,
ruining lives of two people who genuinely love each other.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
On the train to South India overhearing a conversation of a jealous woman talking to her friend about two people who were in love and she wanted to break them up because she didn't approve. This poem was inspired by that conversation.

Unique traits of human mind and psychology excellently analysed after their identification during a train travel in south India. I feel that the God, our creator has imbibed love, jealousy, anger, hatred, greed etc 6 enemies(we call it shad ripu) in human mind universally. The percentage may vary depending on geographical and/or economic factors. Regards. Ratnakar Mandlik

Loving only the ideas they've formed for our lives in their own minds, choosing behaviors conforming to what they see in their jealous minds. I love this stanza. Great idea beneath. Full 10 for it. Thank you for sharing the poem. Subhas
