“Selfish Ways” 11 – 22 – 02
Josh Barnett postpoems.com/members/lillep
You want your paradise
Many lives you’d sacrifice
Give them to the plan
Surrendering helpless lambs
You’re so selfish in your ways
You live them out every day
You don’t care about the world
Just yourself, not even your girl
Your ego is so large
Couldn’t fit a barge
Your heart is so bare
Like water in desert air
Your hope is your life
You ignore your wife
Your life is so hollow
A fool you are to follow
I never did look up to you
But then I never would
Because you are the shallow man
I knew I never could
