It is the one the ego can most easily justify
I point the blame at my nearest and dearest
For their words and actions I want to crucify
When I get some time on my own
To reflect on the hell I unleashed
I realise that it was my previous mind set
That gave rise to the monstrous beast
I then go into a state of remorse
About how I let myself down again
To feed my need for others energy
I caused them unnecessary pain
Yet even from this self awareness
I still love to manipulate my spouse
With a judgmental unforgiving look
Or being as quiet as a dead mouse
Is that what unconditional love is
A game of oneupmanship?
Only there is no sponsors cheque or cup
From winning the premier championship
I need to find a way out of the cycle
It is getting boring to say the least
These emotions are controlling my life
From my happiness I am being fleeced
Instead I will let my feelings take over my body
I will allow them to do their worst
I have come to realise that fighting them
Gives the dam the power to burst
The more that I learn to recognise
What drives my thinking mind
The more I will be able to live my life
In a manner much more refined
So I will just sit with the overriding emotion
Then ask what is it trying to tell me
Is there something I need to act on
Which my conscious mind is trying to flea
Somehow I don’t think it will be too hard
But at the same time hard as hell
Because what is in front of our noses
Is usually hidden by our own deep spell
We don’t want to see what we have to do
Because that would involve making changes
If other people can’t deal with that
That will lead to even more heated exchanges
Sometimes you have to take a stand
Make the hard choice that is best
Not just for you but for everyone
If a decline you need to arrest
It can be done in a spirit of generosity
Without turning it into a war
Trust what your feelings are telling you
After all, that is what feelings are for
Act from the goodness of your heart
Others will more easily understand
Things work out much better
When egomania is not out of hand
When you explain your deepest feelings
Others feel able to express themselves too
That could be the key to help us evolve
Out of this nightmare backyard tribal zoo
