Love, Vanity and Hate
A poetic trilogy


Vanity

Look at me 
I am perfect
I am handsome
If he is more handsome than I
Then he is conceited

Look at me
I am strong
If he has more strength than I
Then he is all brawn and of little sense

Look at me
I am very witty
If he has more wit than I
Then he is a liar and a cheat

Look at me
I am perfect
He too can be
If he were only more like me
