The Narcissists’ Reward

Here are the facts 

As you have them set 

You have no tact 

Or any regrets.

You do as you please 

Without any remorse 

Your hyperbolic squeeze

Keeps you on course.

You think of only 

What serves your need

You’re never lonely

Just filled with greed.

Whomever serves your will 

You keep near you bed

But once you’ve had your fill

They’re as good as dead.

So sing your own praises

As your world revolves around you

I hear rhetoric in your phrases 

As you have not  got a clue. 

You think you know best 

As your world turns 

Though I must confess

You have a lot to learn.

So go ahead and laugh 

While you play others, hard

For one day photographs

Are all that you’ll regard…

So take my me at my word

As I grasp all I can hone 

Yes, you think me absurd

Maybe not, when you’re all alone.
