The World Made Me Selfish Poem by KAUSHAL SABOO

The World made me selfish.....
I was born neutral
clean of any disturbances
neither were there any disturbances
neither critical circumstances
what was there was my mom's caring
my relative's happiness and my father's dreams.

I grew up slowly,
within my circle,
made many friends
almost all were good
coz we were not ripen still
and I could not even
find any obstacle...

I was teen aged then
I found myself to have a crush on someone
I expressed duly
but she hated in the same
She never thought of me
and never even tried to do so
She built up the same kind of deny, refuse & betray
the same amount of affection I had on her
This wasn't a blow
but was a lesson either
of the world that wouldn't know
who is better and who the real bitter....

Now, I am a young
a fully grown up young
grown in the sense that I knew the world
I faced many such faces
many such hearts, intentions, notions..
whom I had thought to be great
but they had the selfishness great
I knew each and everyone had their own motive
no one thinks of other
neither they think of their own mother...
We all have motherland, the one mother
but each of us now deny & we bother
to accept this truth...
We are so called independent, have self respect
the so called endeavour not for all
but for self..

So I knew this kept in my mind
developed myself
adapted for this world
tuned to be the same as others
Great, i am selfish now

So,
I am really grown up..........
