Current Age of Self Love


He is thought of to be selfish and wrong.

Recently, men, women, and children alike

Started to follow in his footsteps.

For him, it meant that people would 

Understand his same adoration for the human flesh.

His new favorite tool to use on Earth was nothing

Evil nor despicable, but a popular idea.

Pop culture and society started calling his name.

Social media, selfies, models, and diets

Were nothing other than pillars of glory of ones' self.

Narcissus had finally made his way

By getting to the true root of the problem:

Loneliness and self-consciousness.
