The Case Of The Egomaniac Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Lost in the web of life
Drowning in a deluge of power
The egomaniac is not in touch with reality
Totally attuned to his culture of selfishness
He cannot grasp the meaning of selflessness
Nor pretend to know the difference between wrong and right
He is living in his make believe world
A world of impunity and recklessness
A world swamped with greed and corruption
The egomaniac has breached the barricade of common sense
Enveloping himself in a fragile bubble of power
He stands ready to capsize humanity
He is not bothered by the wailing and suffering in his wake
Nor moved by the protruding fear in the face of his victims
He is totally encapsulated in a cocoon of selfishness
