I lay here tonight typing. I wonder about those who don't have the advantage to type. I pray for those who didn't have a dinner tonight. I mourn for those who part from this world tonight. I sympathize for those who can't hear the voice of God calling Them to something more. The overwhelming sadness that I bear penetrates me straight through my soul. Who am I? Who am I to be living the way I do. To want more than I need? Who do I think I am? I cannot live with my selfishness. I cannot bear to live a life of unnecessary wealth when there are others who glance towards me from across the universe with the smallest Inkling of hope that I might give. I cannot bear to take.

SELFISH
I lay here tonight typing. I wonder about those who don't have the advantage to type. I pray for those who didn't have a dinner tonight. I mourn for those who part from this world tonight. I sympathize for those who can't hear the voice of God calling Them to something more. The overwhelming sadness that I bear penetrates me straight through my soul. Who am I? Who am I to be living the way I do. To want more than I need? Who do I think I am? I cannot live with my selfishness. I cannot bear to live a life of unnecessary wealth when there are others who glance towards me from across the universe with the smallest Inkling of hope that I might give. I cannot bear to take.
