'Tis A Selfish World Mostly

Who can deny the fact that we live in A selfish world generally, to the core? This is the all-pervading common sin That can be found in homes most, door to door! All persons want the best in life always, And do not care about the next at all; Most want to pass just care-free, risk-free days, Appearing deaf to conscience's clarion call! Most mothers want to choose the child that's born, Aborting ones they feel are ‘unwanted'; Sex is a shameless game from dusk to dawn; Most live a stupid life almost haunted! ‘Pro-choice' mothers say, ‘children have no rights! ' And more so, when it comes to unborn child; Selfishness rules the roost most days and nights, While realizing dreams that turn so wild! This tendency prevails all through their lives, But senescence puts them in piteous state; For money's sake, most homes become bee-hives, And heinous crimes and vice become a spate! Even the Maker is forgotten fast, As selfishness fills body, mind and heart; And very soon, virtues turn things of past, As life becomes a shameful, sinful cart! Ev'n marriage is unspared right from the start; One's freedom infringes upon the next; Mal-adjustments stay until they depart, And life's puzzle leaves all utterly vexed! Selfishness finds its way in every age, And no one can take steps to mitigate; Defeated fully in the wars they wage, Most people finally call it their ‘fate! ' This world can't be a better place this way, Till all mankind gives up its selfish ways! Will God usher a better, newer day? Man is the real culprit/cause always! Copyright by Dr John Celes 6-7-12
