The Ego-Experience Self
Interest has risen in the Self (big S)
The world goes down, things fall apart,
Arctic and Antarctica
With holes that forecast,
If not prophesy, predict and augur
Awful dog days, hot as hell;
Days of clanger, anger, danger
Not a soul to shoulder all.
Who to lay the finger on?
God in heaven?
No! God no!
It is the ego side of mankind,
Giving self-esteem, self-importance, self-worth, self-respect,
Self-conceit, self-image, confidence, identity;
All good and faulty. Most unlucky.
It can be critical of self,
Connect with spirit; Yet, in conflict
With the things of senses and their drives,
The things they love,
The numinous suggesting One above.
What to do to harmonize disparate two?
Destiny you have will have the say and sway
It all depends on you.
