Selfish

Location

Loving, hugging, love me

for the affection and attention

best believe I am worthy

these are words I hear from ones

society deems as ugly

a homeless man, barefoot

just wanting a meal

not comitting a crime 

not wanting to steal 

He said, "care to give?"

I told him to come to my car

and when he saw what I pulled out

he said there was aligment in the stars

rare Nike Stefan Janoski's 

Limited editions 

sell on eBay for a bounty 

I said, "These are yours. Treat them well."

I saw the look in his eyes

He was under a spell 

"You would give these to me?"

I told him they had no use to me

Consider it a gift from a fairly kind stranger

not wanting to cause harm or danger 

My quality that some would consider flawless

is that I give to all, my heart is lawless 

if you need, you shall recieve 

if you need to eat, a plate will arrive via me

I must share kindness to the world 

I must inspire little boys and girls 

my heart is flawless 

because I give all I can

being human as some would call this

I do so the world will be filled with kindness

and may all those who are selfish find this.
