I try not to feed my ego,
by placing pity on others,
but who has heard of a starved ego?

Instead my conscience
thoughtfully invests such a feeling
on those without passion
who let others think for them.

Terrified of unconventionality,
as if embracing the natural state
is wrong doing, when in truth
fighting the process
and celebrating distortion
is the soul’s gravest threat.

Are they afraid of devoting themselves
to the point of hurt?

They are blatantly unaware
of the ecstasy...
