When you are young then you believe <br /> the whole world revolves about you. <br />Quite simply you cannot conceive <br />what you believe may not be true. <br /> <br />The whole world revolves about you <br /> the centre of the universe. <br />As you so selfishly pursue <br /> the great ambitions that you nurse. <br /> <br />Quite simply you cannot conceive <br /> that other people have in their sights <br /> far different dreams which they perceive. <br /> As being well within their rights. <br /> <br />What you believe may not be true <br /> as you mature you’re sure to learn. <br /> The world does not exist for you. <br />You will receive just what you earn.<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ego-te-absolve/
