Those Who Live For Self Only Poem by Francis Duggan

Those Who Live For Self Only

Rating: 5.0


Those who believe there is not more to life than living for me, myself and i
Are people who do believe in their own lie
Narcissistic in their thinking and self centered indeed
The World of more of their sort is not in need

On the ladder of success you may have climbed far
But no matter how wealthy or influential you are
Though for services rendered to you as you should do you pay
You too depend on others life works in this way

Though this is not saying anything that is new
Those who live for self only are not of the few
In their thinking one can say that they are quite small
Pride as is said can come before a fall

Those who live for self only self obsessed in their mind
The Narcissistic are never compassionate and kind
It is not what you do for yourself people will best remember you
But the good things for others you have been known to do
