Me, Myself and I
Me, what an overused word that has come to be
Followed closely by the word I
Me and I,
Why?
What has happened to us all
It is a disgrace
How would I survive
And stay alive
If there was no us
There is strength in numbers,
I, the all-important me, would blunder,
And not survive alone,
Left on my own.
Why?
We need each other to care and share,
And think more of others, that bear
The brunt of life woes.
And not to dismiss them, saying,
"That's how life goes."
We cannot go forward on our own,
The life we have is not ours alone,
It affects other people every day,
Whether they are at work or play,
So let us all start to try,
To teach each other the reason.
Why.
