Ego-Sway

It's myopic to claim
We're not all the same.
Separation always holds sway
If vanity's call that
Our Self controls all
Means ambition is chased every day.

This illusion of ' I '
Distorts how we try
To see we aren't separate at all.
With a "we", there's a "them",
That's the Ego again
Raising reasons for ultimate fall.

We stay empty inside,
Inflated with pride,
Forgiving not ' other ' or ' self '.
Inner growth brings the need
To foster real seed,
Which is spirit of far greater wealth.

When Ego holds court
We're easily bought,
Relinquishing choices for good.
Learning how to let go
Will inevitably show
An Ego, at last understood.

understanding ego itself is a nirvana ....wish we could get any nearer to it ..you have meticulously displayed your craft here ...I think lot us are lost in the I and are blinding oursleves , closing doors on choices we have ..this is a piece that every human being should paste on his mirror ...not the bathroom one ..the inner one
