OK I Can Be The Supreme Egotist Can;t I

*l
I

I am me and nobody else, no other person has inhabited my shell.
Neither before me, nor after, will be likely to dwell.
In this living skin, that surrounds me right now
And no other entity can share it, that I will not allow.

I am me, the supreme egotist, I the id, the one and only.
Being supremely me, I never get lonely
No thought of regression ever clouds my small mind
No reincarnation, I'd leave that behind.

I am me, and I won't come back as a dog or a cat or some other
thing.
And believe if you like in spirits and ghosts, who may moan and
sing.
I won't be haunting or visiting the scene, to give you a fright,
I will be gone to my Maker and I know I am right.


For if I believe as the good book tells.
We are all created uniquely ourselves
Each one in His image, no more no less, we are told that is true ,
So if I've been here before, I'd have to join on a queue.

For those who had preceded me, in this world of mine,
Would have to go before me, in one great line,
And those who came after, my life was all done,
Would they follow behind me, would we shuffle as one?

To gain our reward or punishment due, for a lifetime of living,
In a world that is cruel and so unforgiving,
No I believe I alone will stand at that time and place,
Where ever it may be, for reward or disgrace.
For I AM ME !.
