Best Egos Poems

So many people complain when they lose

To gain better rankings, judges they schmooze

And if they don’t place, their egos are bruised

They even use blogs simply to recuse

To some extent, these attacks may amuse

But their true intent is to light a fuse

Comments from favor seekers surely...

i park my car
and i step outside
hoping that the quiet
will help me clear my mind
i always mend this way
but it didn't work this time

cus for a second
i look up at the stars
and it comes rushing in
just how small we are
that kind of self awareness scares...

Why do they do it?
Put up with chilling
winds and blinding
blizzards.
   I try to warn them
but they don't listen.
   Is it their ego that
blinds their fate?
   Men always strive
to be at the top of
their game. This isn't
a game it's real.

Right now, in the Northwest town of Seattle,
Seahawks egos must be higher than the Space Needle.
On the west coast, it was just a little after seven,
when the Seahawks faithful felt they entered seventh heaven.
After what happened at the Super Bowl outside of New York,
numerous fans...

The clouds pass silently above
On their way to infinity;
Sojourners drifting in the sky;
Compliantly acquiescent
to whims of dominating winds.
Our paths to perpetuity
are like those hovering above:
Short time stays in this dimension
crammed with egregious egotism;
Marvel at insignificance
as though it were significant.
Our egos pass, notwithstanding,
into amnesic nothingness....

In the scorching sun,
friends and shadowy trees alike

This-
This tableau of 
Mental images, of 
Fixed scenes, this
“Battle of Egos” is
Relentlessly looping
In my mind.

An annual gathering of kith and kin
Created a backdrop of statue-like characters
Blindly unaware of a
Crisis stirring.

Off to the side, there are the mothers,
Pillars of love for their sons,
Paralyzed with the knowledge...

i’m right reverend 
   he’s very right reverend 
       the most reverend 
    somehow all irreverent 
   self righteous reverence

Crimson Egos
by Lori Maria Walton (2014)

skins gold brown, pale pink, formed before names
religions of submission, sedition, scarcity, and stocks
who created the numbness of your arguments?
egos inflated, lift presidents far away from ideas of peace
creating blood splattered trays served as media sacrifice
to the gods of greed,...

Humongous Egos
Miracle Man
3/18/2023

We all know someone so full of themselves,
they think their opinion is all that counts.
That the last word spoken is always theirs,
And every conversation the friction mounts.

Many think having money, position, or fame,
means the world evolves around them.
But they don’t see self through...

Ego systems are felt integrity
some ecstatic times
and self-conscious mendacity
other significant times,

Restorative and yet unfortunately retributive games
with WinWin or WinLose, or even terrifying LoseLose dominant trends
in self-with-Other inflicted identity.

As eco-systems are imaged healthy
and sadly pathological,
restoring healthy climate vocations
and sometimes punishing theological revoking EarthLife imaginations

Climates of epic...

What a feeling of sad despair
When friendship disappears in thin air
Sometimes when having a laugh
It's taken as a serious gaffe

But they come in various sizes
Almost always wear disguises
Some quite large some small
Others have none at all

It's obvious why some don't see
How they bruise so easily
They've...

From whence it came and for what purpose, completely mystifies.
Could be from earth's galaxy with The One God to look toward
or another universe, though those with degrees say such is jive.
Perhaps, said denial is one omnipotent wisdom has long adored.
Here it did appear, causing humans...

My dear Miss Peach how lovely!
Your table boasts so fair
You've chosen the finest bubbly
Best porcelain plates and crystal ware

Your handpicked guests are perfect
They know just what to say
They are prefects without defects
With no real opinions per se

Your parties are full of boasting
With braggarts, blowhards and...

Why are we quick to label with a name,
trying to ensure no one is the same?
Our egos expand and place us above those
struggling, who we should be drawing close.

Walking by those with their beds on the street
moving quickly, hoping none we will meet.
If steps are...
