Yourself Aside
Self-concerned centuries...
never heard cries of others in need.
Self-pleasing decades...
ignored hunger with nothing to feed.
Self-centered years...
stole prizes mainly from greed.
Self-inflicted months...
created painful lives to bleed.
Self-seeking weeks...
blocked dreams of others to succeed.
Self-serving days...
took credit of other people's deeds.
Self-deceiving hours...
stirred up people's mind to mislead.
Self-justifying minutes...
built up doubts that others agreed.
Self-important seconds...
have just ran out for you to read.
The time is now
to put yourself aside
and starting listening
for those who sadly cried.
