Be Selfish… Be Selfless

by Benjamin Stone

I know you want to be selfless,
But think, my friend, about this:
There are more bacteria than you
In there.
You owe it to them to resist.
Don’t let the world
Poison
Or control you.
Take hold of your life.
Focus on living
In the now—
Eliminate all strife.
