Ego servants, you and me
To things we love, can’t get free
Ensnared we are by selfish pride
Forgetting that, in God we all abide
So much energy oft gets spent
In things propelling our descent
In things focused just on you and me
Leaving no thought to humanity
Habits learned over a lifetime
Worsen yet in our prime
For it’s then, we’re at the top
Afraid we are, bad habits stop
Off course at times, we steer our ship
Hard it is to get a grip
And change our proud and selfish side
The dark parts of us, we cannot hide
Because it’s hard, that’s no excuse
Around our necks remains the noose
While no easy answers within our reach
Must we each day, practice what we preach

Thanks Dan and Nasra. Hope you are both well.
the change with time
I’ve got no excuse
for this neck’s noose
Except the delusion
of this phantom ego’s collusion
