Me, Me, Me!

We live in a world
that's not sure
of itself
so many people
just out
for themselves

selfishness and greed
grows
by the day
expanding the notion
there is
no other way

justifying behavior
that's not
fit for anyone
marching to the beat
of their
very own drum

empathy and compassion
fall
by the wayside
when
what's in it for me
is how you decide

understanding
the purpose
of give and take
loses all meaning
if it comes off
as fake

self serving agendas
rob
who you are
that need to achieve
when you
take it too far

we all want to
succeed
believe we have
a shot
but a virtue
it's certainly not

extending a hand
the
kindness you possess
was not meant
as a tool
to deceive and impress

being gracious and
honorable
feeds our souls
and without
even knowing it
can further your goals

what they don't
understand
what they fail to see
they spend all
of their time
on --
Me, Me, Me!
