Ego is not a dirty word.
Folder:
PHILOSOPHICAL SS ego ergo I
If I am worth nothing
am I not entitled to an ego?
If I am a resource
of great pleasure and thought
An unravelleer of enigmas
an inspiration
Am I worthy of an ego?
If I am sincere, leveled
and quasi sane
do I get one?
Amazing isn't it?
how many of us don't know
What we carry
everywhere we go
Reality testing
can be such a bitch
When your idea of 'I'
conflicts with theirs of it.
Your reality sucks
'I' prefers mine.
And you well,
you prefer yours.
And you there!
You would prefer mine
And 'I' won't envy yours
You measure yours
by everyone elses yard stick
And I being dyslexic
can only read my own glyphs.
Suits me that way 'I' supposed
I get to chose my level of 'I'
And calculate yours with the hidden clues.
Don't hate me because I know my own 'I'
I chose my 'I' all the time.
it changes with each uncertain trial
And raises when completed in my style.
I keep 'I' in check rarely
I refuse to regulate my 'I'
according to your comfort levels
Adjust your 'I' accordingly
and believe me it takes work.
Years of testing realities
Never finding any finalities
There's no easy way to accept it.
There's always something
yet to over come 'I'
So my 'I' can never be not bigger.
There, there, don't sit and snicker
you are entitled to all this 'I' too!
There's no sizing it's a one size fits all
Everyone has 'I'
If you don't believe me there's
really nothing 'I' can do at all
ego ergo
the self value of your 'I'
Start discovering the value in 'I'
And do not judge me when 'I' did
Ergo the ego
we can see the dirty lies now with both our 'I's'
'I' can only snicker myself
'My' thoughts are really just a bunch of rocks floating down the stream right now. That slightly prose poem was quite clever, witty, and amusing. 'I' will never think of 'I' the same. :)

Don't let any one shake your dream stars from your eyes, lest your soul Come away with them! -SS
"Well, it's love, but not as we know it."
Huh?
That last part didn't quite make sense to me. All motion in this stream has come to a sudden halt. Smarter than my phone?...
- Zachariah
I'm using my socalled smart
I'm using my socalled smart phone to be on post poems and it auto corrects the words Nd replaces them and makes be look dart*daft so I am less inclined to comment on eorks, *works
but when I get time on my laptop I comment more. I am enjoying your work. Cheers SS
Ps juxtaposition is a pet love of mine and it is in much of my work, the rocks floating down a river... Rocks don't float unless under them some sort of raft so I guess you're the life raft that gives hope to these rocks so that they may float into soaring ideas of creativity. ;)
Don't let any one shake your dream stars from your eyes, lest your soul Come away with them! -SS
