EGO
Poetry
Today a friend talked about male ego
Yes, we have ego
But it’s not about male or female
We all have ego..
A person who drink scotch
Won’t drink country liquor
A girl who always date a stud
Won’t date a nerd
Who drive luxury cars,
Would never travel in bus
Unless it’s a freaky choice
Because that’s there, ego…
Situations and time define ego
For one it may be ego
For other,
It may be a precautionary measure for caution
Which may appear as ego.
Today a friend talked about male ego.
Religions are full of ego
Mine is better or best
Itself is an ego
Societies are full of ego
West is best, fuck the rest
Blacks, whites, chamars (schedule caste in India), sardars,
Everywhere you see is ego.
Kashmiris going to take freedom
That’s there, ego
India won’t give
It’s our ego.
Two people fall in love,
Merry against everyone
On the name of freedom or love
Is there ego
And later can’t live with each other
Again, a different ego.
But what’s the point to explain further
When already explained in first two lines
Of the poem ‘ego’.
