Love kissed, <br />Ego killed. <br />When love flung it's arms around him, <br />Ego unlocked them to push them away. <br /> <br />When love didn't know what to do, <br />It just loved more and more. <br />But the ego's rigid affect, <br />Prohibited love to soar. <br /> <br />It broke love's wings, <br />The ego destroyer. <br />Never allowing others' happiness, <br />Never observing others' sadness. <br /> <br />So the ego, love's enemy, <br />Kept up it's work of polllution, <br />Never trying to seek even a solution. <br /> <br />With ego strong, <br />Where can love belong?<br /><br />Vera Sidhwa<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-pollution/
