Be Magnificent...... Poem by RIC BASTASA

Be Magnificent......



the self is
a deceiver of
the self
itself

it lies to
its own teeth
it hides behind
its back

it whispers
that there is nothing
wrong anyway

it settles for what
makes it feel good
for the moment
and if the self reaps
the sad consequences
it goes to sleep
trying to ignore
what it did to itself

sometimes
it pays to get out of
the self
rise above it
and then be
magnificent
