The thousand faces of the ego

 

 

Sometimes we run after power
Sometimes bath in lust
Sometimes drink from the straw of greed
Sometimes are like oil and fire
Sometimes are possessed by possessions
Sometimes act like actors
Sometimes persist to be right
Sometimes convince with lies
Sometimes lose honour for little advantages
Sometimes are prisoners of wishes and desires
Sometimes hate even others for their otherness

We all change the masks permanently
To feed our ego and mind…

Time to be aware of our thoughts, words, deeds and its consequences…

Flames of Love

 

 

A touch of the eyes
May inflame it
Wrong words and deeds
May extinguish it

This is the love of the mind
The love of the soul always shines…

Mind and Ego

 

 

We are storm and conflagration
War and peace
Heaven and hell
Hate and love
We are a raging ocean
An erupting super-volcano
We are smart and cunning
Always have a motive
To win, to enrich ourselves
For better or worse
We are greedy and exuberant
Striving for power and riches
For titles and acknowledgments
For possession and control
Worship the lust, which is our love
Attach ourselves firmly to the world
On things and people
Create wishes upon wishes
We are a serpent with thousands of heads
Medusa, a changing face
A spectrum of feelings, emotions
In shades and grades
We have chameleon-like thoughts
Deceive the owner
Lead her astray
Wrapping her in illusions
We, the five thieves…

The owner? – The soul…

Spoilt world

 

 

Power dictates what is good
What is bad
What is in fashion
What meaning one should have

Manipulation throughout the world
With money ruling along
Tailored egos, minds
Smell of egoistic ideals

Baits attract the mind
Packed in wishes
To bind attention
Injection of deceptive dreams

Confused people – victims of the system
Walk about with greedy eyes
Coloured in blood-red
Lustfully gaze through eyes hypnotized

Pink sky filled with endless wishes
Screaming market – ecstasy
Of more and more
Better and higher

Lost ideals sink in these clouds
Swamp of decadence
Battle between winners and losers
Heads falling down like leaves

Listen searcher of the truth
Keep your ideals high
And lead a life in light
Be a beacon in the night…

Virus: Ego and Mind

 

 

Ego and mind of a man
Is like a virus
It needs a host
To multiply his power through:

Money, selfishness, pride, greed,
Attachment – packed in wishes

Detachment is the solution

Even from oneself
To be one…Self…

This virus is spreading around the world
May we all find a serum against it
