The Ego-Ridden Society

This is the summit of foolishness When our pockets are packed full of ego And our faces are billboards for our ego-ridden psyches It is definitely going to end in disaster When our children develop ego before they can develop good manners It is true that ego is a platform for confidence and maybe success But the subtle monster is a far more dangerous beast than we can ever imagine Capable of unleashing hell on earth Ego is a categorical part of the material world It is the solidifying of an identity or a particular achievement on the branch of life Ego gorges on the sacred spiritual energies Ego gobbles from the bowl of consciousness Deliberately occluding the vessel of awareness Distorting the truth with its lies, deceit and falsehoods Intoxicating and polluting the substance of consciousness It is through ego that one disengages with his/her true self And paves a path of delusions and madness in a temporal and foreign world Totally deceived by the contents of his/her thoughts He/she finds pleasure in the feelings of superiority over others And is catapulted into the realm of selfishness and eventually wickedness This is the foundation of our ego-ridden societies Where individualism, competition and judgement are celebrated Humility, compassion and gentleness are shunned Love is measured by a material yardstick The ego-ridden society is a place of foolishness Where inequality is normalized and poverty is tolerated This is a rich environment for poverty, diseases and calamities to sprout A dangerous place for all of humanity regardless of geographical location or race It is time to cleanse our psyches and re-visit the vault of our conscience It is time to consume true knowledge and rekindle the spirit of togetherness This is the time for spiritual awakening and the pouring of our spirit on the carpet of existence Not to disrobe ourselves of the vital energies but to connect ourselves to the truth This is a time for unconditional Love to flow from one street to another, one heart to the other unabated This is the time to get rid of our ego-ridden societies and build a new realm A dimensionless realm on earth ©
