'Our Self Gratificational Pull' Poem by Linda Winchell

We tend to gravitate, towards what we enjoy and love
might be, the attention of another?
Uplifting words with tenderness
gratifications, pleasurable nudge?

It fills a need, of a self gratificational kind
Filling its thirst like a sponge
absorbing its words, so sublime.

We post our opinions on blogs and on forums
looking at anothers shortcomings, to maybe plunder
with some, self- righteous like decorum!

Filling our own needs, like you had a, Doctorate or such!
Placing above another
what you yourself, have maybe needed so much?

Gravity however has only ONE way, and 'THAT'S DOWN! '
So watch what you're getting yourself sucked into!
For your self's gratification
might come pull YOU, back DOWN to the ground!
