Born in light, grown in ignorance
Ego has masked the Truth
Enslaved by temporary pleasure
Running from aversion
Suffering is its only fruit
Tied to this world, so familiar
Whereby you know another
And, are known to another
by your ego alone
Longing for God is obscured
Ego drives and steers by fear
To dominate and control
Layers upon layers, it buries the Soul
How can one drop the ego
To be nothing and unknown
Ego does not want to be examined
It does not like awareness
Cannot exist in the bareness
Of being nothing
Bewildered in the vast — Absolute
Oh Ego, release this heart
Know the One that is all
Let the veil of ignorance fall
Away, gently flowing down
To reveal His Love unbound
