He'd like to father a child but not support a partner or wife <br />The selfish young man in the prime of his life <br />The ego can be a narcissistic creature indeed <br />For the survival of his genes he'd like to plant the seed. <br /> <br />The offspring he would like to create he would not help to raise <br />The selfishness of some never ceases to amaze <br />He feels the World ought to thank him for what he has done <br />If he father's a daughter or father's a son. <br /> <br />To him everybody his praises should sing <br />The one who feels he should have been born a king <br />He would like to be a dad but in his own selfish way <br />For the privilege of such he does not wish for to pay. <br /> <br />A classical case here of me, myself and I <br />As a narcissist he'll live and as a narcissist he'll die <br />Without helping to pay for such his own image he hopes to create <br />His spirit is small but his ego is great.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/as-a-narcissist/
