Selfishness is every where, hiding


Selfishness is every where, hiding in the dark.

Eating away at our souls without a visible mark.

If I could change one thing, selfishness would be it.

Without it life would get better: slowly but surely, bit by bit.

It's time to help each other, with altruism as the key.

we must forget the needs of the few, and embrace the needs if the many.

Help comes when called, and aid is always there.

We must ignore all self-interest, and encourage love and care.

A world without selfishness, agendas, and egos.

Standing strong together through the highs and the lows.

If I could change one thing, selfishness would be it.

Without it life would get better: slowly but surely, bit by bit.
