In the depths of the human heart, a battle rages on
The ego\'s grip, its fear and pride, like shadows in the dawn
It seeks to oppress and demoralize, to assert its dominance
Using the law, and moral codes, as tools for its defense
It whispers words of judgment, of condemnation and shame
It seeks to undermine and accuse, to tarnish another\'s name
But we must not be swayed, by the ego\'s subtle game
For in its fearful grip, we\'ll only find suffering and pain
We must rise above the ego\'s need, to control and dominate
We must embrace love and compassion, before it\'s too late
For the path of the ego, leads only to division and strife
But the path of love and kindness, brings harmony and life
So let us be aware, and vigilant in our ways
Lest the ego\'s grip entangle us, in its deceptive haze
Let us choose love over fear, and unity over division
For in the light of love\'s embrace, we\'ll find our true vision
So let us stand against the ego, with courage and with grace
Let us choose to uplift and empower, in every time and place
For in the end, it\'s love that wins, over fear and selfishness
And in its radiant light, we\'ll find true freedom and wholeness. (\"The Ego\'s Game\") by Courtney Weaver Jr.
