How has egoism affected your life?
Well, you’re not making
True the idea
Of altruism
If you don’t let the
Homeless sleep in your
Bed. Open your home
To any vagrant,
Needy person who
Yearns for sustenance.
Is this too extreme?
It’s not if Kant is
Your guide. He wants you
To give until it
Hurts. And not only
That, because maybe
You’re a masochist;
You might find joy in
Suffering. So, die.
Death is the only
Solution to the
Problem of living.
If you reap any
Happiness from the
Labor that you do,
Then that is not a
Virtuous concept.
Show blood, cry tears but
Only if others
Benefit from this.
Of course there is an
Alternative to
All of of this. You don’t
Have to be a shmoo
To be gobbled up.
And you don’t have to
Be a sadist who
Seeks relief in the
Pain of other folks.
Egoism can
Be your torch lighting
The way to the heights
Of morality.
