Poem: 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
