Learning to be selfish

 He had his favorite moments
Kids anticipated things in houses
where parents couldn't imagine tomorrow
He would go to the mega play park

Play until adulthood
The suddenly be somebody
He was so busy so obsessed with playing
Under those pinetrees with those other kids

He was so small and enthusiastic
How the magic leaches out
He slowly forgot how to share
His food and toys

Slowly he became more and more selfish
feeling extremely short changed by the world
Spinning the toy in his hand then the cash
Then his ID and he knew self interest

He left the pine forest behind
The sugar and playfights
He became laughless
lockstep and greedy
