In Praise of Ego by Michael Shepherd In carefree, laughing, joyful mood –
let’s praise the ego, to its face! Our most faithful mate throughout our life;
with us longer than our parents or our children are; at our heels at all times, proud of head and tail,
saying to the world that ‘I belong to him! ’; faithful as a dog; and cunning as a cat;
between them, running our un-mastered lives; (and like the cosy purring cat you stroke upon your lap,
ego's the secret dark night-hunter, out to kill all life..) ego, more awake than we ourselves,
never missing a living moment; every heart-beat an opportunity;
sharper entrepreneur than any city slicker: ‘what’s in it for me? ’; there is no trick,
no turn, no market swing, that ego can’t exploit and profit from; to read the whole poem click HERE - http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-praise-of-ego/#
