Unmasking The Ego Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

I like chopping on you
My axe has fallen on your face so many times
And my hammer has pummeled you with brute force
I have unmasked your false identity

To the bystanders
You are an innocent victim
You are only a byproduct of success
Your demeanor is totally accepted

To me
You are the enemy of humanity
The true barrier to spiritual enlightenment
A wall of pure ignorance
You hide the path of consciousness

To the unwise
You are a perfect partner
A friend and a guardian
A teacher and a mentor

To me
You hide your ugliness with polished makeup
You hold everyone at ransom with your sleek moves
You are a tyrant and a manipulator

Ego is the number one enemy of humanity
