Ego - a Major World Problem

Ego ruling mind, we want to reach great heights About emotions, values we don't care at all While trying to be the greatest, our actions are not right To prove they are greatest, countries with others fight Not a thought about those who die and fall Ego ruling mind, we want to reach great heights Poor dying of hunger, rich watch their plight Hoarding for self, human selfishness does appall While trying to be the greatest, our actions are not right Boasting, arguing, criticizing one another we smite Without thought of self-image, in public we brawl Ego ruling mind, we want to reach great heights Killing all life forms, destroying nature, we show our might Tampering with life cycle, not a thought about our downfall While trying to be the greatest, our actions are not right Doing what is right, egoless we should delight Loving all, helping all, our doom we should forestall Ego ruling mind, we want to reach great heights While trying to be the greatest, our actions are not right 04.05.2021 Inspired by Contest - A major world problem Sponsor - L MILTON HANKINS
