On Selfishness

Maybe all this writing is just an exercise in frivolity
It will just sit in some journal, some file
Until I die

No one really wants to know the thoughts I have
No one wants to hear your thoughts either
People are too consumed with The Economy

This is why love has to be negotiated
So everyone gets their needs met
We are all vying for our rights

That’s okay
Selfishness gets you more love
That is just the way it is

You have to take what’s rightfully yours
No one is going to give it to you freely

There is no humor or irony here
Just cynicism and melancholy

There is a windstorm outside
I want to let it sting me
and blow my thoughts away
