Ego's Last Supper

What sets one above the pack;
the throng, the herd the mob?
And, do these honorable?
attributes nearer us to God?

Does walking upright like the shaft
bring clarity from aloft
indicating those of a slower pace
are merely God’s castoffs?

Do denizens of air and sea
fall farther from God’s grace
are the golden buzzing bees
a mere afterthought, a trace?

Shall ego serve our last cold dish
as harsh denigration falls
upon all the smaller things
man’s mindlessly enthralled.

Or, will we find on judgment day
sure scintillation and surprise
as we realize all God’s creations 
are equal in His eyes.

This is very special to me. Your concept of ego is something I'm very very curious about. I use it a lot in my stuff and I'm wondering to what extent we're speaking about the same thing. I like how you also use christian terms to communicate an essential message of love and in equality in the eyes of, you know, the G word. Thanks for sharing your light Deb. -Yoni
