"Selfish Love"
 
Selfish is my love even though it is spread abroad
to reveal itself within the works of my hands
in support of others
For I desire the reward of it

Selfish are my vows which ye call prayers
which are said in the purest language form
unbeknown to man; at a time within its’ own
Thus not to be witnessed by any mortal ears
For the sacred privacy thereof
I do adore and cherish it.

Selfish is the sincerity of my heart
that will not permit me
to be judged or misjudged
as righteous, or unrighteous
For the fact is _ I am closer
to the ALMIGHTY
as I am truly devoted to the thought of it

Selfishly we stand _
alone together as living beings
We share the common knowledge
of our differences
but, we are
solemn in our splendor and our sorrows
even as we join hands and bow-heads
Know that mine light shines the brightest
For I insist that my glory be seen
and recognized and I can attest to it

Selfish is the beauty of our polarities
wherein make us the same
Clearly, I am better because I must be.
For I hold myself to higher standards.
The ALMIGHTY deserves specifically the best
that only I can offer
For my soul depends on it


Thinkth as a man and be mortal.
Expound as the divine and sit amongst kings.
