EGO

ego

Something stirred in the core of

The soul, a gnawing thought at first,

A slithering feeling ebbed inside , a

Green glint lit the eyes. A hungry

Greed sprouted, curses unnoticed

Talked behind a façade of smile

A wall erected to protect itself. 

In the boiling cauldron inside the

Soul ego  raised its ugly head.

    It IS ugly. Our ego, that is. Not your poem. =)

    Where did you get this picture. It fits a haiku I wrote! Not to mention how it reveals what ego really looks like. Excellent words.
