Ego…

The one that kicks
and shoves,
heavies
and yells.

Ego…

Always there,
in your face,
lurking,
ready to pounce.

Ego…

It cries like a baby,
and yells like a man,
manipulates like a woman…
Always!

Ego…

Synonymous with me
and I,
and me
and all.

Ego…

Like a child,
having a tantrum,
except always,
every minute of every day.

Ego…

Perhaps its the devil,
and the root of sin.
It causes much suffering,
there’s no running away!

Ego…

Where lies the answer?
To what?
The very question…
Ego centric!!

Ego…

Can it be ignored?
Or controlled?
Can it be conquered?
I think not - says the ego!!

Ego…

Then what?
What?
Who?
And how?

Ego…

You and me baby!
Just you and me!
And when I perish…
so will you!

Ego…

For without me there ain’t no you!
So you see…
We’ll just have to wait,
to get relief!

Ego…

But that day will come,
sure as death!
And then…??

Exactly!!
