Selflessness

Hisbasic object of concern is

Pointedin an outward path

Embracingworlds as yet unknown

Inribbons of benevolence.

 

Herconscience of self-sacrifice

Deridesthe egocentric state

Andyields to kindness that exists in

Breathingthe experience.

 

Theirsis but a hollow world

Wherecharity is foreign fact

Andthey must sigh and suffer from

Thevacancy of recompense.

 

Oursmayhap to capture shards of

Joyfrom swift philanthropy

Andwalk with pride in every stride

Indignity and eloquence.

 

Yoursmust be a closed decision

Toprotest or acquiesce.

Doyou bow to pompous pleasures

Orconsign to selflessness?
