Poem Title:
Poem
For God do we all search In temple, mosque, and church Little do we know that the ego does hide That very God that lives inside We must let go of the ego If God we must find And for this, we must realize The biggest enemy is the mind But first, it is the ego That keeps saying 'I' and 'me' It dominates our life so much That God we cannot see God is not on a faraway planet Nor an old man with a long white beard God lives in the temple of our heart Alas, his voice is not heard The ego makes us deaf and blind It stops us from the truth And makes us pray to a statue and a saint And a God with a snake and a flute What does the ego do in fact? It creates duality It makes God different from us And the truth we cannot see The world has hundreds of religions And thousands of Gods to whom we pray The fact is we don't know who God is And we don't even know what we say As long as the ego dominates our life Between God and us, it creates a veil And though God is right here and now To realize God, we fail Because the ego causes ignorance The truth we cannot see We believe in the myth and superstition And just be who we are told to be The ego is my identity The ego says, ‘This is me’ Because I keep saying 'My' and 'Mine' The God within, I don't see The ego makes me suffer Triple suffering with body and mind It is the ego that makes me cry With miseries of a different kind ‘How dare you did not do it!' This anger, revenge, and hate It's the ego that makes us go around And stops us from heaven's gate Who is, where is, what is God? The ego makes us juggle so much It makes us search here and there As our God, it tries to touch But God, in reality, is within God has no bone, nor skin God is a Power that gives us life In the trillions of cells within What is birth, what is death? Why did we come to earth? God is the one that makes us live God gives us the human birth Without God, what are we? Without the Soul, we are nothing The body, in the end, returns to dust It is God that is everything Unless we go in search for the truth Unless we start our quest We will just believe the myth And fail if we don't question and test Life is like a spiritual puzzle The pieces we must find We must put together who we are And not live like we are blind The truth is simple, but we don't see it After death, there is rebirth It is our own actions, our Karma That brings us back to earth
