POEM

i, i, Eye

This society: I, I, I, Me, Me, Me.
I gave, I went, I saw, I think, I want, I need.
I, I, I.

I like myself,
I think I'm grand.
When I'm with me
I hold my hand.

I like myself,
I think I'm neat.
When I'm with me
life is complete.

I like myself,
I think I'm kind.
When I'm with me
It blows my mind.

I like myself,
I'm so sublime.
When I'm with me
Life is divine.

I like myself,
I think I'm sweet.
When I'm with me
There's no conceit.
