Blindfolded Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

It is not rocket science
It is not a mathematical puzzle
It is not a magical spell
It is ego
Human beings are blindfolded by ego
Leading them astray
Into the land of selfishness
Ego is a master illusionist
Covering you with golden showers of fulfilment
And a sense of invincibility
Ego will dissect you alive
Open your heart
And remove your soul
Ego is an enemy of humanity
It is ferocious and manipulative
It is an intoxicating beverage
Full of foulness
