When I was young, I was a bastard, and I loved it. I barreled through life often with disdain for others, selfishly seeking my own pleasure and desires. I enjoyed being arrogant, I hated being wrong. I looked out for only me, ignorant, self absorbed and shameless. This little verse deals with that self-concern. I…

Everyone wants to be first, to win, to be in front. Many will sacrifice much to be one of the first to own new things. Number one, the winner, trailblazer and trendsetter.

This one hits home. I know I am not perfect but when I observe others in life I often think things like, ‘Dude where did you learn to drive’, or ‘Go back to school’, or ‘Fucking idiot!’. I forget that I am other people’s other people, and by thinking this way I elevate myself and…
