First there was me
Charity and goodwill drown in the ocean of malice.

First there was me

First there was me, all of me,
Open minded and curious.
Trusting my fellow men,
I found out it was all spurious.

Life was too undemanding,
I needed a challenge, a goal.
Helping the less fortunate,
I gave it my heart and soul.

It took years to realise,
How bellicose the world was.
No matter how much one gave,
No one observed the laws.

Arcane is human behaviour,
I try to grasp the rules.
Each man to his own,
The world is ridden by fools.
