What's it all about, You wonder ? Dear child, surely you see? It's all about ME. It's all about... ME, ya know? Surely you know that it's all about ME. What is read and all that's written... If you stifle or you show... All that is heard and all that I see... Surely, you know? It's all about ME. The harshest criticism will not muffle the cheers that follow the flow in my burning ears. The highest praise Although... true and kind Cannot silence the critic inside of my mind. If you cry a boo hoo or you laugh a tee hee... Whatever you do... It's all about ME. So... Embrace ME Abhor ME You cannot ignore ME. I Come... Praise ME Admire ME Adore and desire ME. What's it about ? Dear child... Can't you see? Without question or doubt... It's all about ME. Every doer and deed... All that is wrought... Every mantra and creed... and all that is thought... Surely you know? Surely you see? It's all about... ME, ya know? It's all about ME. * |

Greetings, XO. A compelling and fascinating read to be sure! I read it three times and had different takes on it each time. The one that seems to fit the best for me is that ME is HIM.  HE needs to be loved just as we do! A uniquely creative piece of writing! XO EA |

My brother once told me that "life is all about ME" - I was shocked until I realised that if a ME loves and helps a YOU, it is essentially about ME because that is what makes ME happy. Makes one consider whether selfless people really are selfless or merely looking after self interest. It is something I ponder. Good write! Helen |

Love Helen's answer!  And I guess you didn't get the memo--'cause um, I'm afraid there's been a script change--it's all about ME.  Seriously tho, you are the star of YOUR movie, and I'm the star of mine, and if we are indeed, spiritually all one, then we are both right. Does that make sense? *laughing* Does it HAVEta?  Love the poem. |

So, so true!!! I think I have also found a new motto for myself... "Embrace ME Abhor ME You cannot ignore ME." Thanks for giving me a grin this evening ... Lord know I need it! ~~Terry ~you reached inside, you touched my heart, |
