We All Need Some Ego

We all need some ego for survival it does seem this way But people with overblown egos i meet with every day Their own praises only too willing to sing With some self promotion nowadays does seem the in thing Some base success in life on the accumulation of money and fame Quite aspirational people for them for want of a better name Of those doing it tough they only do say If you are poor you have chosen for to live this way The self conceited aspirational lacking in empathy Who for those less privileged than they are cannot feel any sympathy Compassion is a thing that is born of the mind And people as they are not this way inclined We all do need some ego to survive it does seem Especially those who do live with quite low self esteem But the egotistical whose egos are quite overblown To be caring and kind their type are not known.
