Have I become a hypocrite?
I please myself, a masturbater
because
the world did not love me
I
indulge myself
and eat myself to pleasure
having a low self-esteem, I try
to reward myself.
I became so suspicious of others, especially
white people
because they were so good at saying nice things
but also saying
such mean things behind my back
I learned the hard way, I
spoil myself
and kill myself
bottling up my emotions
suffering from a deep inferiority complex
so jealous of whites
for all the advances in the sciences, psychology, the arts and everything else,
I'm especially jealous of the Jews.
But I keep on feeding myself
loving myself silly
becoming a hypocrite...
instead of helping others who suffer
simply dosing myself with pleasure
so I don't have to care.

Hi Steve,
I love your work and this poem seems so sad,
it was a very moving read, I am sure you do
care about others, sometimes we have to look
after ourselves before we can look after others,
if you know what I mean.
You take care.
Jenny.
