The Destruction of Mankind


The egoic mind is responsible for war and corruption.
Our egos are the perpetrators of world wide mass destruction.
Our ego is not our friend, it is a poisonous entity.
It is what builds up a wall to keep a barrier separating you from me.
Its poisonous, murderous, its blood thirsty with ambition.
It will guide you throughout life while it deteriorates your vision.
It is jealousy, ignorance, distrust and self absorption.
It vigorously skews your vision, setting morals out of proportion.
It is greedy for money, for glory, riches and fame.
You will loose yourself in your ego, forget your morals, forget your name.
