The Difference Between Selfishness, Sadism, and Insensitivity

An apology

that's given freely

after a egocentric

comment

A graceful lift

of a shoulder

after not speaking

when being spoken to

A cold glare

that pierces all

who oppose

the one who gives it

A soulless glance

that unnerves all

who ignore

the one who lives it

A biting word

and a harsh remark

Guilt and sarcasm drip down

the lungs and into the heart

A cool statement

and a matter-of-fact voice

enrages the ears

making it beet red

Both hurt

Both cause pain

No matter how much

They don't mean to

But tell me

Who's more dangerous?

The narcissist,

The sadist,

Or the pitiless?
