When gripped by
destructive self-importance,
humility becomes a grace for a poet.
This grace kills the evil of the Ego.
From God alone
comes this grace,
along with
the true inspiration.

ah, tony—if only the ego could be killed. but what can happen, yes? , is that we can choose not to let it dictate what we think or meditate on, what we say, or how we act. -glen
So very true. Humility kills the evil of the ego. A wonderful spiritual poem full of wisdom.10+++
very sincerely humanly and ego slashingly picture and poetry 100000000000000+++++++++++++++
How very true. God rewards the humble. Poetry is not of God when the poet is proud in the wrong way. Thank you for the truth. 10
oops, forgot to rate- -10++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ of course! ! ! !
Beautiful graphic and so perfect a companion for this poem. Poets need to take to heat the first stanza- sometimes we get hung up on the praise and applause factor and forget we are trying to reach out and touch the heart and soul and mind of the person reading with what we believe to be an important message. All which is simplified if we're praying for and listening to God's Word
So true. Humility kills ego and make you a better person. Very nice. Loved it.10+++++
