    I know the feelin hun, just remember poetry doesn't have to be perfect on the first draft. Write out a temp one of just how your feeling or words that sound good at the time. Then go back and read it over and make little revisions

    It all depends upon the attitude you want to take. If you want it to be satyrical, you chould make it have a jumpy beat and have it be about someone getting their comeuppance (The guy didn't care, He just wouldn't share, And then he got mauled by a great big bear). Or to take a more seroius tone you could give it longer lines and a heavier beat (Selfish people make my life so hazy, The know what they do and they're acting crazy.) The words in there weren't so seroius, but you get the picture. I hope I was a help to you in some form or another.

    what a lame a** topic-i can write better than you underwater! -how did that make you feel? selfish people are bitterly worried about where their next healing moment will take place. e.g.-a beggar; a homeless person; a night clerk at the 24hr store-they are all selfish in the fact that what they do for a living they choose the reward they feel they deserve. life is a choice making decision(exerpt from a fellow poet in here) and selfishness is a path we award each other with. When we appraise the award-that is greed!-poetically speaking-this statement not applicable to any sales tax-thrown verbs-gestated malt beverages?-or poured out green slime!

    Yeah, but do those choices some people make have to always be about themselves?
