Ego

Someone said that when we let in Ego
we are edging  God out
Our thoughts get clouded....
judgements become faulty
effectiveness & best interests
get  sacrificed
at the alter of
seemingly self interest

yet no interest, not even self interest
is served in the long run by ego

Older the company, bigger the company
bigger the problem of inflated egos
why should I go to him?
Let him come to me
Why should I smile at him?
Let him smile first
This appears funny, trivial & petty
were we to see it on celluloid
yet it is played out everyday in corporate circles

So much more could be achieved- so many more gains
If only we pocketed Egos & did'nt care much
 as  to who gets the credit- the limelight

So much more could be achieved by man & mankind
If only  we listened to our hearts more
and  to our heads less.

If we plotted & planned less
but  simply gave in to the flow of life-
To the feelings of being alive
To the feelings of being one with
Our organization & everyone in it.
yes,so much more could be achieved by man
and mankind!

  1. Wonderful poem. Your words, "So much more could be achieved- so many more gains
    If only we pocketed Egos & did'nt care much
    as to who gets the credit- the limelight" ring true :)

  3. Very true...but how many of us can actually let go of our issues to submit to humility?
