How selfish are you?

By Skyler SaundersPublished 7 years ago 1 min read
All year 'round, the selfish person is most consistent.

Self-sacrifices, selfishness, and all

The unselfishness in the world today

Cannot contend with the one, single call

Of individualism that must say.

The selfish, first-handed person only

Cares about their own values and does not

Show master or slave tendencies, lonely.

They engage with others in life’s word, jot.

There are sacred things that ought not be touched.

The self is such a thing that should be held

Above all else; this great thought should be clutched.

Individualism in lives should meld.

The egoist is the evergreen tree.

Selfishness is the truest way to be.
