It is only the self that can profit.
It is only the self that can gain.
It is only the self that sheds its tears
from laughter, Love and pain.
It is only the self that gets lonely,
As it is only the self that can care
And it is only by self-realisation
that the self can become self-aware.
So it is only the self that is selfish,
as only the self can be less
And it’s only the self that is everything –
That’s why I’m in such a mess.
For only the self can cause doubt
And only the self can cause fear
And it’s only the self that can mess things up –
the things the self holds dear.
So if only the self learns the lessons
Before it leaves it too late
Or the self by not recognising
Will doom its self to an unconscious fate.
