ode to ego

conscious vessel
of genes and love scenes,
memes, dreams,
morals and themes...

the mask we
unconsciously pull
over the communal anarchy
and sanitized insanity
of our modern lives
with the string of music,
canvas, dance,
race, or anti-social class:
the delicacy of aristocracy
or the bluntness of the crass

conscious vessel
of genes and love scenes,
memes, dreams,
morals and themes...

the nerve-bound stage
upon which traffics our life's play
(slowly customized to the applause
and scorn of the world crowd)
until the inevitable fatal bows

Thanks Pia. This poem was created from real passion and with hard work... and I feel people sort of missed it because of the natural aversion to ego/egotism. so, thanks
