Drama Part One

Robert loughran 1962 (Ireland)



Now I'm asking myself these questions,
all others are excluded.
so please don't get offended,
you are not by me included.

Is it all just self absorption,
naval gazing for the bored.
Laden down with ideas of self,
distorting reality into words.

Is it all just self absorption,.
a cult of victimhood
Select a good issue,
mildly debilitating is good.

Is it all just self absorption,
with a willing taking part.
is it a diminishment of living,
all head but no heart.

Is it all just self absorption,
its my most important question.
Are most psychological issues,
just our own invention.
