Selfishness

12/17/01

How can it be
That some people are so selfish
They make YOU feel like it's you
Who's the problem

That they can get their needs met
At the expense of yours?

Guilt should overwhelm them
Like an avalanche
They should die with the weight
Of their insensitivity
Unable to breathe

Like the rest of us
Whose spirits they crush.
