Ego is the demon seed, rooted in our minds. <br />Being right, for what is deserved. <br />But what is deserved? <br />Are we so entitled, that we are above the next? <br />What of the struggles of the helpless? <br />Are we more deserving than those who were born with nothing? <br /> <br />Spirit is the presence of God within our being. <br />Doing right for another's needs. <br />What is need? <br />The requirement of another for their existence. <br />Expectation is not need, but a feeling of entitlement. <br />For if we are entitled, then isn't another. <br />We do unto others as we receive ourselves. <br /> <br />Ego is simply an illusion. <br />The inner mirror of which we stare into. <br />It is the binding of our mind to our bodies. <br />And the separation of our actions to our inner God. <br />Ego wants control, so God cannot have it. <br />Ego's quest is to be right. <br /> <br />If one is right, then another is wrong. <br />For who is it that likes to be wrong? <br />If we are trying to prove to another, right to our self. <br />We are robbing another's right of self. <br />For ego says we are the biggest Giant of all. <br />But the bigger we are, <br />The harder we fall.<br /><br />Ryan Lee Morris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ego-30/
