Selishness

The very root of all evil in this world.

My wants shall come first,

Selfishness - the root of evil,

The core of all sins

Author's Note

This is the philosophy of Satan: "Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven."

I quite agree with your sentiments. Most troubles stem from being selfish, from not submitting to God's will.

I think the last line can still be improved as it merely restates "the root of evil" of the second line. Maybe a punch or something that intensities your point.

One alternate was 'The Heart of Satan', I guess that fits too. Selfishness is indeed the core of ALL sin. Satan's first act of rebellion was selfishness. Jesus' sacrifice on the cross was the complete opposite of selfishness. Thanks for reviewing this, Blue.
