Ego te absolve
When you are young then you believe
the whole world revolves about you.
Quite simply you cannot conceive
what you believe may not be true.
The whole world revolves about you
the centre of the universe.
As you so selfishly pursue
the great ambitions that you nurse.
Quite simply you cannot conceive
that other people have in their sights
far different dreams which they perceive.
As being well within their rights.
What you believe may not be true
as you mature you’re sure to learn.
The world does not exist for you.
You will receive just what you earn.
