Swallow An Ego

“When thoughts cease to flow ~
Where does ego go?” (by Unseeking Seeker)



Swallow an ego like sour food
When thoughts will cease to flow
It does make sense for common good
Together, dream and grow.

Bubbles of Illusion
Merge in single vision
For world’s one ambition

Let some pride sink, go
Swallow an ego
