Where Ego Lost Its Way


I have never, for once, learned my own way;
Each time seems to lead my steps far away-
Beyond intentions not to go astray,
Ego daring routes for knowledge’s display;
Until I resolved to learn from hooray
Others made after many mistakes lay.
Their efforts, time and wits to rest halfway,
Till confidence, lost, luck’s chances betray.
To learn from both fool and wise-don’t betray.
