He struts and swaggers as he walks along <br />Full of himself to the brim <br />If you ask about the state of the world <br />He say it's all about him <br /> <br />As he moves along the avenue <br />He's impressed with the scenery <br />In the windows his reflected image <br />About what life is supposed to be <br /> <br />He talks about his work and his family <br />His hobby, home and friends <br />About himself his favorite subject <br />The discussion never ends <br /> <br />When you talk to him of your concerns <br />You speak to a blank dead face <br />His mind has gone off elsewhere <br />Any thought of you quickly erased <br /> <br />He has daily instructions for all of us <br />Our place in life's symphony <br />He's a self appointed conductor <br />With positions for you and me <br /> <br />He presents a package so neat and nice <br />Wrapped in glitter and gold <br />If we all behaved as he wants <br />We'd all fit into his fold <br /> <br />From a point of view looking down from above <br />A Higher Power might say <br />Can't my people see this won't work? <br />Each can't have it their way!<br /><br />Ray Andrews<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-plan-for-you-and-me/
