Ego Is Not The Enemy

[Drakoreo]

So often, is ego scrutinized,
Like the kid in fourth grade with buck teeth,
Who all the kids bully,
Or like the unwanted child, who causes nothing but trouble,
For the parent they will never be good enough for.

I say the ego is not the enemy,
For the enemy is the concept of an enemy at all,
For why do we need someone to torture?
Or a child to disown?
How could we respect all people?
If we don't respect all parts of ourselves?

As all is a refection of our divine nature,
And so in our ego is an opportunity,
To finally come to peace with ourselves,
To love the role every emotion and thought plays,
To love all the actors involved.

The ego is a part of us,
As vibrant, pure and divine as the rest,
No person is more significant than another,
Nor is any part of us less significant to another.

So I say with ease the ego is not the enemy,
But someone who is in need of the most patience,
Love, and acceptance.
