Selfishness

 

I can hear you speaking,

I want to listen to what you say,

But,

Can I tell you there is another way,

 

I could listen to you right now,

I could give you my time,

But I’m so busy

I just don’t see how,

 

I really want to help you,

I think you really want me to,

But

Can’t you see,

I just don’t have time,

 

It’s not,

You,

Aren’t important

To me,

 

Of course,

You are,

Don’t be silly,

But

The dishes must be washed,

Can’t you see.
