The Egoist

Despite today�s media coverage people still tend to avert their eyes from the misery of others and focus solely on the prosperity of their wealth and vanity.

Beautiful write, the dissimilarity between the me and you stanzas is indeed quite powerful, and definitely bring the meaning home. Simple, elegant, and wise! Awesome job

short but simple, it somes up how most people are in todays society.

I appreciate the sentiment behind this piece and the picture fits it perfectly. Good LORD, who is that guy? Anyway, it's very short but speaks volumes for the attitudes of people lately.

[Elvina CZq]

Short but not that sweet, of course, and shouted out the meaning loud enough to listen. This poem of yours just reminded me of the song "the World is not Enough" by Garbage. Well, not bad at all.

[Jack Force]

quirky, simple piece (not in a bad way) with a deeper, relevant meaning to the world we live. great poem!

I might be wrong but did the lines correspond to each other.
My crib with Your pain, ect...
Even if it didn't that's what I got form it.
Interesting poem
