Who Is the Affirmer Affirming

Affirmations seem popular
attempting to manifest reality
peril being of ego seeking
boon as bane causing fatality

Unless with the conscience 
we be in tranquil alignment 
ego borne cravings & urgings
bring suffering & discontentment 

Such is the divine paradox
that whilst we may co-create
we must do so in loving surrender
detached and in stillness sedate
