My Great Enemy Poem by ramesh rai

My great enemy
my ego, my false pride

Begone!

Ruining my soul
giving me false assurance
for my capacity and wealth
and my power
raveling me for no reason
when I will be no more.

If I follow
street dogs will urinate
on my tomb.

Begone!

Don't want to see you more.

If I don't follow
little bird'll pluck the lily
and adore my tomb
with her beautiful craft
and 'll sing the song
for usher spring
drizzle the melody
to attune my tomb.
