Ego(Money) Poem by Emmanuel Joseph Olumakiss

Ego the man-saver!
its your face i seek
Through the goddess mouth
In your hand lies riches and glory
Many that are in your lack;
Are in Penuries den
Our biggest threat arrive
Whenever you re out of town
Life becomes fierce and frown
Our heroic name buried underground

What is life when there's
no you in all we do?
If wishes were horses
In your chamber I 'd ride

Ego be merciful to me
In my youth before the arrival of old age!
In your name i 've seen hell
Even obsessed all day long
Roaming prostrate in the
altar of quick wealth
Most times i 've forfeit the
ways of the creator
All for the value you bring

If life is all it cost
To remain stranded
Its left in the hand
of the living to chase
this grievous path

Be near don't keep me waiting
Now am on a toothless stand
Should I taste this menace again
After the rented years?
When everything good lies in your path.
