The Stones of Ego and Its Antidote - Poem


When Self Life is strong
The Big I thrives on
And Ego hardens to a stone
Which is hard to break
So hard, so insensitive
To others' pains
Nothing said or done
Can make Ego shake
No one can break
Ego's stubborn bones

Embedded in a river
Like a big ugly stone
It slows down and obstructs
A river's smooth flow
Making life's progress
Miserable and slow

Ego, a stone, can trip on itself
Falling down flat from its Ego heights
Ego in the end can go nowhere
Because it is embedded
In the sands of despair

Humility is the powerful
Antidote to ego
It makes wonderful things happen
Wherever it goes
It has an unseen power
That no one seems to know
And it can drop ninepins in a row

Humility can break the stones of ego
Like no other force in this world can
It is a language not understood
Much by woman and man
When Humility acts
The unseen worlds see and tremble
And stand in line in awe
And assemble

Humility in action
Can turn proud souls humble
Making that hard stone
As fragile as a bubble
Humbleness is not weak
As we think
Humility shakes, it breaks, it molds
Change happens, transformation.
Lives change, situations change
Great things happens that are beyond
The periphery of human range
When the Stones of Ego
Are replaced
With the antidote of Humility
The Cloak of Humility!


Proverbs 11:22:  When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.
