The King of Ego

Contributed by Dark_Angel on Monday, 9th February 2004 @ 03:10:29 AM in AEST
Topic: dedicatedpoems

There once was a simple man
who had a quiet smile.
Along the way that man has changed.
His smile has been gone for a while.

He used to condemn the dishonest,
the egotist and liars.
He has since become those things and
it pierces my heart like briars.

I wonder why he turned his back
on loyalty, compassion and truth.
His behavior of late
can only be described as uncouth.

No longer a friendly word
to the people that he meets.
He's become so self-absorbed
at my very soul it eats.

I miss my caring, open friend,
like a flower misses rain.
But, the King of Ego
will never be the same.

well said. I like the title and the way it was woven into the end of the write ... pen on.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
