Ego
"When thoughts cease to flow,
where does ego go" Unseeking Seeker
Can Ego escape its demise if it hides?
In mind's chimeric forest it abides.
It can wear a transparent look at times,
to entice Mind's oft-changing designs.
It might think to enter an empty mind
of concepts echoing when left behind.
But, not allowed, where its ego must dwell.
Our Ego's meeting its own type of hell.
Mind, ID and Ego, the three contradict
the others' views, creating their conflict.
Yet, in the end, it is mind that commands,
altho ID and Ego will make their last stands.
Ego: What are you sans me to add spice?
ID: Remember me, I'm the one who's nice.
If mind disappears, both also must go.
Loss will extinguish Ego's torrid glow.
