Writing Selfish

[Nomad]

What do ya think?


Selfish

What do you want?
power,
money,
honor,
praise,
the thought of superiority?

Stop thinking about yourself.
Think of them,
their hunger,
their sadness,
their pain.

You greedy fool!
you know nothing of what I'm telling you,
do you?

You like getting things,
invaluable things.
But they know not of getting invaluable things,
everything they want/need are the most valuable things ever.
Water,
food,
shelter,
family.

How long will they live?
Three days,
four,
a week,
or even 24 hours?
You don't know or care, do you.

Stop asking for needless things,
Start giving.
Do you think of them,
their suffering,
sorrow,
sickness?
Do you even care?!:(

I think you should send that to Amnesty International or 40hour Famine, some organisation like that. It would be a good advertising campaign for them as it makes people think that there is always someone worse off then them. Good work.

That poem is rather touching... a blunt intrusion of hate.. displayed quite well. directing it as if talking to one, however talking to many... yea...send that to AIN, or somthing like that... its pretty gripping... sounds like somthing i would hear in a world vison commercial... well not really they are usualy nice... but you get the point.

that made me want to sponsor one of those kids on tv, be a pretty good advertisment for one of those outreach programs.

Send it to the Red Cross.
They might like it.

I however loved it.
That's another keeper for the OtakuBoard Book Of Poems.
