Clothing The Ego Poem by john tiong chunghoo

Clothing The Ego



if there is anything
that needs to be clothed
it is one's ego

leave it naked, running wild,
it would ruin the whole peace
and make a nuisance
of the person with it

get hold of it, steady it,
then cloth it and set it
in a proper mould
so that no tea can be spilt
when it rears its head

only after that can we talk
about clothing the man
