That I Am Self Centred Poem by Francis Duggan

That I am self centred I will not deny
But my flaws to others do also apply
Our lives do revolve around me, myself and I
And that's how we will be till the moment we die
What we dislike in others in our own selves we do see
But we are what we are that's how it seems to me
And though I am one who has walked on many a street
The near to perfect one I have yet for to meet,
The more ruthless are those who financially thrive
But without the selfish gene one would struggle to survive
Of the Unwritten Commandment of thine own self take care
So many it does seem are all too aware
But to those who to their higher self try to remain true
Respect and a whole pile of credit is due.
