The phrase "What have we become, self indulgent people" was taken from a song titled "What have we become" by DCTAlk. What have we become Self indulgent people Seeking things to please Not stopping to think Of what might hurt another It's all for pleasure, for self. When will we stop and take a look At what we've become Pleasure seeking, Life destroying Self-indulgent Ego driven people What have we become? <*\\\>< I know not what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future. I don't question YOUR existance - GOD |

We become visible and those who are real show their light and those who aren't lose their poetry. I intend to keep my poetry. Thank you for the poem, White DOve. "Every man dies. Not every man truly lives." Braveheart Kathleen |

Very good expression, Rebecca. I suppose too many people don't take that inward look to see how their actions affect others. Denise |

Thank you much angel! Elizabeth, sometimes I don't want to know either. It's a tough thing to look around this world sometimes. So very true James, so true. Some just don't care. Rex, I don't know. Pride is usually what ruins a person my friend. Thank you all! |
