A Shameful Ego Poem by Agboyi Felix

You dream of conquering, of victory
through hands at chest glued.
Like the eating seas,
you chip off shoulders
by dints of all, if right or wrong,
to blossom your to be.
Each sapling you sink,
each sapphire you destroy.
I think they are never your delight.
You leap your way with lights of
terror and stressful force with
regards to none.
As if the ego dwelled a star
within you only,
you lacerate others' sole,
so when they step, they can't!
And between the teeth
of the men you agonized,
their feelings are much gnashed.
A victory at the expense of others'
throat, feelings and hurtful emotions.
That is no victory, but a shameful
ego!
