Spirituality And Ego

The human mind is a paradox Capable of absorbing both light and darkness The human mind is like a big spatula That feeds you with problems and solutions Sometimes the problems tip the scale And your mind goes into overdrive Unable to let go It twists and turns in pain Until all its strength is exhausted And it allows you to slide into the abyss of darkness The human mind is not an instrument of eternity It's a tool for survival in this short life-span But it's capable of ruining your entire existence Ego is the accumulation of subtle but toxic elements of the mind That are far more dangerous than the temporal feeling of pride It's capable of submerging you in delusions Giving you a feeling of ecstasy Ego will drown you in toxic thoughts and emotions And leave you to rot in hell It's imperative that we deface this monster And allow true knowledge to seep through our body, mind and soul Ego will not give you happiness, peace and Love It will only make you toxic Until you are a walking sponge of wickedness Ego will give you temporal success Only to spit at you on your death bed Ego will not allow you to be humble or gentle It will kill all of your compassion And puncture your vessel of goodness Ego will amputate your pedestal of unconditional Love And leave you holding onto hopelessness Ego will feed you with power And puncture your heart You will be dead inside But very successful in life You will be full of despair And loneliness You will be an open casket While walking the street of life Spirituality allows you to wake up And be conscious of your true self Spirituality allows you to lean not to your understanding You will learn to see with your heart And reap the fruits of the spirit You will find happiness, peace and Love In the bowl of existence ©
