Notes About The Poem

For Unseeking Seeker's Disrobing Ego poetry contest

Disrobing Ego

The key to disrobing ego
so that divineness in us can grow
involves letting go of conceit
and allowing God’s light to glow.

As our fellow man we put first,
we’ll be letting go of our pride,
and by practicing self-denial,
we can lean to the righteous side.

It’s a matter of being humble,
being grateful and serving others.
Our love for God we can show
by loving our sisters and brothers.
