Vanity Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Who is it today can say,
They have so much time to want...
More of it wishing,
They could spend some it...
On the foolishness of others.
And who is it that those others,
Perceive to believe...
A World slowly spinning in this Universe,
Does this to discover...
Someone who can not recover,
From a diseasing self centeredness.
And full with ego.
Needing a vanity to be pleased.
But...
Let's take this even deeper.
Where their thoughtlessness resides.
Hear them speak harshly of others.
Then to expect themselves not to be criticized
