Ego
Some have Imagined
Themselves
In the Hands of
An Angry God,
With an Ego
the Size of
an Armored Tank,
Demanding
Worship and Obedience,
or Be Blown
To Hell.
But What If
The Only Deity
Is
No Deity at All,
and
Has No Ego,
Only an Avalanche
of Mother’s Adoration
and Sloppy Kiss
Affection
and Father’s
Fierce Desire to Give
Every Gift
He Can Fit
Under the Holiday Tree,
for His
Giggly Toddler.
And What If
You,
a Gleaming Chip
off That Block of
The Divine,
Spent Your Days
Handing Out Kindness
Like Popsicles
on a Summer’s Day,
Explaining to
Your Ego
That You
No Longer Have
Any Need
To Be
Worshipped or Obeyed.
