ego
hard to please
hard to get
harder to appease
oh! bloody puh-lease!
entity best locked
buried
concreted
progress
or
some illusion of it
neither is
plausible
the last battle
with this
entity
ended
in an armistice
hence
progress
lay in no man's land
between
the fences
the soothing
potion
for the battle scars
the words
- story of my success
is like a Baobab tree
with branches for roots
and
evergreen fruit
hard to get
harder to appease
oh! bloody puh-lease!

I find that ego can be such a fickle thing, much like the use for any sort of art. I love the way this starts out, very fast-paced and in-your-face. This reads much like a slam poem; have you tried reading this out loud? It sounds wonderful!
it is a cold, quiet place.
sound is violence in this tranquil place.
true, ego, a fickle entity.
Appreciation of the feedback cannot be overstated. Thank you.
Your advice for the reading out is appreciated too. Shall try, once out of this tranquil quietude
:-)
