It Must Be What I Dislike In Others

It must be what i dislike in others in my own self i do see Since big egos are everywhere all around me It would be a dull one who would not be aware That humility in the Human World has become more rare Than it was a decade ago it does seem this way Egotistical people i do meet every day They do not seem aware of their own mortality An over inflated ego can be the cause of mind poverty An egotistical person could never be compassionate and kind As an over inflated ego crowds compassion out of the mind A wise person to me made it abundantly clear That the one without ego of death loses all fear To live we do need some ego but too much of it can take it's toll On compassion and empathy the gifts of the soul.
