I Spent The Day Looking At Myself Poem by Susan Williams
I Spent The Day Looking At Myself
.
I spent today looking at myself
...what I wanted
...what I could do to get it
and when I spent today looking at myself
...I was not looking at God.
.
.
I spent today thinking about myself
...and closed my ears to His Words
...and closed my eyes to His Works
and when I spent today thinking about myself
...I was not thinking about God.
.
.
I spent today putting myself at the center of the universe
...not others
...not God
and when I spent today at the center of the universe
...I did not answer the door He was knocking upon.

Beautiful poem. Metaphorical. We are narcissistic, we think more of ourselves. And such thoughts do keep ourselves away from God and godliness. They make us more greedy, selfish and self-centrex, too narrow minded.
Part 2. One of my favourite poets is Malayalam has written "Anya jeevanuthakee swajeevitham/Dhanyamakkum Amale.. vivekikal"- meaning, the knowledgeable, the wise people shall render their lives beneficial and supportive for others (all forms of lives) and thus make their own lives meaningful.
