Ego, the Destroyer. Poem by Nabakishore Dash

Ego, the Destroyer.

Rating: 5.0


Both devil and divine traits
are combined in man.
The latter make him tall
while the former make small.

He can go to great heights,
achieve laurels for all.
Or he goes down deep to hell,
attainments stall, resulting in fall.

Man has the power to reign
both the good and the evil.
The outcomes depend on
his discernment and will.

When own blunder is a mountain,
our ego views it a mustard grain.
If another's mistake is a mustard grain,
our egotism considers it a mountain.

Ego devastates our understanding,
forces man to be enraged and ruined,
Giving off ego, becoming humble
man can turn impossible possible.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
