My Ego
'My' Ego?
My brain
'My' brain?
My functioning body
'My' functioning body?
Who
And what
on Earth
Am 'i'?
Is anything of 'me'
Mine?
My language?
Not mine
My body?
I did not make it
My mind
Only made possible
By things that I do not control
So what am I?
Who am I?
Ahh!
I’m just a human
Everything else
Is just Ego
...The great illusion maker! The great cause of suffering for mankind?
But I know you’re just a phantom
Just a ghost of which the poor human is a host
Oh Ego be gone of this man
And leave me as nothing and clear
