When some folks are given ten minutes of attention, <br />To then begin to 'assume'... <br />Their star shines brighter than any other in the universe, <br />Something is missing in those heads this dense... <br />That focuses thick in self delusion to dispense. <br />With a belief their glistening has a permanence. <br /> <br />And instead of being grateful, <br />To that which has allowed them to shine so bright... <br />Suddenly they find a dimming to be done overnight, <br />As a falling back down to Earth becomes noticeable... <br />To those they once shown their behinds, <br />While doing a climb to ascend to heights. <br /> <br />And recovering to discover from gutters looking up, <br />Others stars glowing with a doing longer and brighter. <br />Reflecting with a gratefulness that respects, <br />The doings allowed by The Divine Creator observing... <br />From a place unseen no one suspects to inspect, <br />Those self obsessed to be removed from the scene.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
