Why can't I just take it?

Why can't I just take it?

A Poem by Huw

Mine! 

Me!

I want!

Why? 

The first words an infant uses

that form the basis of character

or more precisely lack of character.

The foundation of selfishness

the fountain of envy 

the harbinger of violence, 

murder and mayhem.

Mine!

Me! 

I want! 

Why?
