The Problem With Ego Is Its Blindness

It's not the face of reality Written on its face Or the deep understanding of life Oozing from its heart It's the shallow interpretation of life Folded in its mind It's the blindness to the spiritual aspects of life Leading it astray It's the loss of selflessness Clouding its mind In pursuit of selfish interests The ego is blinded By the lure of materialism And false power It's the loss of humility In the hour of fame It's the false security Erected by materialism Identities, achievements and attachments Nibbling at the surface of consciousness Gives the ego its false narrative Its obsession with winning Its venomous appetite for fame Its dark fears Total darkness surrounds a lost soul The problem with ego Lies in its inability to give Or to forgive Its incapacitated state Denies it of all the fruits of the spirit Kindness, humility, compassion and love The problem with ego Emanates from the gigantic delusion That inhabits its whole being ©
