Selfish to the Core!
About this poem
Consider this thought: Typical of Anglo-European English-speaking countries is the uppercase use of the personal pronoun I, in august stature, boldly and prominently capitalized, whether as a subject or as an object, never subjugated, unlike the lower case use of I , realized as ich or yo, or wo; or in so many other ways, where English is not the native language, humbly predicated diminutively , whether manifested as subject or as object.
