    Selfish Beings!

    Innocence of childhood,
    Wrapped in the warmth of parents,
    Playing around them,
    Happy and healing,
    Corruption takes over,
    Values are distorted!
    All the rules are broken,
    The innocence is long forgotten!
    Helpless creatures-
    Humans become!
    Wisdom is tarnished,
    Hopes are broken,
    Eyes hard to meet them,
    Becomes difficult to take care of them,
    So surrounded with, the world around-
    Worry less where you were born!
    Self is disgusted!
    Loneliness surrounds,
    Future takes over past is gone,
    Selfish is human,
    Looks ahead not at what’s gone!

    I don't know if you mind people suggesting possible editing options, but while I read this poem I felt that it may flow much smoother if you were to delete the "are" in lines 6 and 12. It's just a thought and I invite you to let me know your own thoughts on my poetry, thanks.

    I have made the corrections in my blog. Thanks for helping me out. I look forward for more suggestions :).

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
