It's myopic to claim <br />We're not all the same. <br />Separation always holds sway <br />If vanity's call that <br />Our Self controls all <br />Means ambition is chased every day. <br /> <br />This illusion of ' I ' <br />Distorts how we try <br />To see we aren't seperate at all. <br />If we are, there's a ' Them ' - <br />That's the Ego again <br />Raising reasons for ultimate fall. <br /> <br />We stay empty inside, <br />Inflated with pride, <br />Forgiving not ' other ' or ' self '. <br />Inner growth brings the need <br />To foster real seed, <br />Sprouting spirit of far greater wealth. <br /> <br />When Ego holds court <br />We're easily bought, <br />Relinquishing choices for good. <br />Learning how to let go <br />Will inevitably show <br />An Ego, at last understood.<br /><br />Fay Slimm<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ego-sway/
