Egos Addicted Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Egos Addicted

Rating: 5.0


Images are needed,
By a society fantasized...
With hyped perceptions.
At the expense of an enforced,
Dwindling greed.

How can egos addicted,
Keep from bleeding?
How can selfishness worshipped...
Be curbed?
Stopped!
And no longer serving,
Those disturbed in denial fits!

Images are needed,
By a society fantasized...
With hyped perceptions.
At the expense of an enforced,
Dwindling greed.


And those elected to protect their 'treats',
Find they've become accountable...
To ease a reality upon these minds.
Teasing them with beliefs of victory!
When deceit and defeat...
Has surrounded them for sometime!

How can selfishness worshipped...
Be curbed?
Stopped!
And no longer serving,
Those disturbed in denial fits!

How can egos addicted,
Keep from bleeding?

This is a very good question... My answer would be God, Love, and a knowledge that what we own or strive for is not what makes us who we are but what we ourselves put on a pedalstool dictates to us what we should be... Binds and chains do come in the form of many things.. Most of which we do not see. True freedom is expressed in our selflessness. WELL PENNED! ! I enjoyed reading this piece.
