The Age Of Self Promotion Poem by Francis Duggan

The Age Of Self Promotion



In the age of self promotion narcissism is on the rise
And that the humble are becoming rarer is not even a surprise
many sing their own praises and for attention do compete
And at community parties lots of attention seeking when the big egos do meet
That a healthy love of self does lead to love of others only happens to be true
And to those who love and respect other only respect and love are due
But narcissism it is different it is self love gone all wrong
And in the age of self promotion it keeps on growing ever strong
So many young people taking selfies with their mobile phones i see every day
That they do love self far too much of them only true to say
Self with them is an obsession their own praises they love to sing
Love of self when in the extreme for the mind an unhealthy thing
With many self adulation is the in thing though this is not what life should be about
In the age of self promotion humility is losing out.
