Me-ism
satire

 

Demeaning self -

self-ish breed

on "me," "my,"

self - wolfishly feed

inexpertly displaying

want of nearness

to expertise

dirty dog - filthy beast!

Steadily absorbed in "me"

voluminous tide

wasted on me,

events willfully

tied to me

causes to marry

beneath me.

Fable lore

to make a show of me.

Any pulse, pulsation

rattles many more lies

an undisguised imitation,

     nefarious self-falsification!

Instead of self-sacrifice -

the bee's ways of life

settling for the way

of the ruthless ambition of a fly!

Drill in contriving

notice on all sides of me

through divers means

in a mushrooming frenzy

wide of the mark reams

for ill-aimed advance

as a hungover trance

in a legless, dead drunk dance!

Thinking of self

as "invulnerable" - drains!

Swollen claims

that it had brains!

Ugly turmoil, botched toil

Stop moil!

Can't stop laughing since this verse reminded me of many people I know who always are referring to themselves: "me" "I" and "mine". The self-absorption is sickening showing their very limited thinking. There are not enough hard working bees & the idea of self-sacrifice is almost gone. Yet, most folks these days have indeed "the ruthless ambition of a fly". They will change their places even from a flower to a pile of crap just to advance themselves, not caring about right & wrong. Dead brains & dead souls. Doc like your brilliant phrases to make a valid point, and your no nonsense style. Keep them coming!
