Fame Feeds the Ego
Fame feeds the ego
and when the ego is fed
it makes the soul that you are
feel like it's dead.
All fame and glory
come with a price.
It seems warm for a while
but then turns to ice.
How not to succumb
is life's biggest test.
For the ego is strong
and never takes a rest/
Starve the ego.
Let its cravings leave
and the soul will awaken.
It will never dceive
nor ever need to be fed.
