Ego of Man !!

The ego of man,
never wants to bend down.
It always wants to win
it always desires the crown.

No matter what he faces,
no matter what he is told.
He always does what he want,
he always tries to be bold.

The ego of man
is the very reason for his fall.
No matter how much one tries,
it stands as an unbreakable wall.

It clouds his judgment,
it fogs his mind.
And even in broad daylight,
he feels like a blind.

It quenches his thirst,
it feeds his emotion.
It disowns the truth,
while its lies increase in proportion.

It promises to be his friend,
it stays along with him.
It shows road to success,
while raising the thirst in him.

He disowns truth as false,
and accepts the ego as right.
He creates a world of his own,
where he is always prepared to fight.

It is not that ego is wrong,
since it helps him in his survival.
What makes its path different is,
it allows deceit's arrival.

It doesn't see right & wrong,
the ego only knows of the end.
Success is its only goal,
for which, even rules it can bend.

The ego knows only of itself,
and nothing else matters to it.
Even if the self is affected,
even he breaks bit by bit.

The ego makes man proud,
it gives him false hope.
it deceitfully cleanses his mind,
and makes him feel like the Pope.

This is how ego survives,
this is how its deceit goes on.
While man feels himself safe,
the ego pulls him down to drown.

Where then does lie his escape?
How can he be free?
Only by accepting the presence of ego,
free he might be.

The ego is man's pride,
and this pride has to be taken away.
He has to accept the terms,
without which he will again sway.

Truth has to be accepted,
righteousness has to stay.
For if ego returns to him,
with his life, it will again play.
