The Hell of Ego

To be egocentric
Is to experience hell
Here, now, and every time
Ego keeps you red-faced
Makes existence meaningless
As if bankruptcy crept
In your trade of relations
Making them tiresome rituals
To be performed, as you have to
Against your parameters.
                                        
Peace is the most
Aspired ambition of the humans
But how can it cross
The barrier of individual ego
Which is the declared enemy of
The bliss of celestial peace
Going extinct on deserted earth
Poor fellows, why not shed off Satanic ego
Make space for godly sentiments
And free yourself from the tag of egocentric.
