Jesus had an ego, like Hitler,
powerful and large,
it could transcend time
and be remembered 
to this day 
until through tomorrow.

The world couldn't help but look.

And based on the power 
of their inherited choice,
each summoned followers 
with charismatic drift
and delivered them to different gods.

One brother brought ego 
down from the sky like a dragon
and fed his followers 
to the jaws of it's manifest.

The other brought ego 
down from the sky like a dove
and led those who followed,
straight through it's gate...

For ego is the sky, the sun, the rain, your brain;
it is the manifestation of pure power itself.

Ego is our shadow, the past, the future, 
both wounding and healing.

Ego serves the pure power of divinity when it's realized 
that we can never know what ego is...

but ego can behave like a legion of demons once we think
we know what ego is...                                                         © 1999 by David Bozzi
