Analysis of Mankind Is Selfish (Bussokusekika)
Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)
Mankind Is Selfish (Bussokusekika)
Mankind Is Selfish
I don’t feel I’m eloquent
I’ve a way with words
Its a God given talent
A way for me to express
That which I’m feeling within

About this poem
This one came to mind after an appointment I had with my psychiatrist today…After a moment of self reflection, this poem came forth…I don’t feel I have enough time to relax and smell the roses… I don’t believe I have enough time left to do much of anything…Everything in our lives happens for a reason…
