Ego Shorn Here Now Reborn

What a zenith of stateliness is ego mine! Illuminating my worth, strength and charm divine; Positioned politely it does marvels many, When sharpened like knife or sword, harms it brings plenty...! Enriching the attributes of my inner mind, Keeping me socially accepted and refined; If clipped and trimmed and efficaciously maintained, The purpose of my life, here on earth, is attained...! Ego left on non-channelized, is a drunk ape, Moving mind to motifs adverse, it does escape; Ego shorn shines like summer sun dazzling with light, The earth turns heaven for me; I act with foresight...! If ego is pure, I am born in life and truth, New baptism of heavenly waters does me sooth; Life flows flawlessly fluent like crystal-clear streams, Guilelessness, like constellation, within me gleams...! 11 July 2022 Ego shorn, here now reborn Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Unseeking Seeker
