Two kings
Cannot sit
On one throne
Only one can rule
The stronger
May not always be
The better choice
But sheer brute force
Will often tip the balance
As ego
Muscles it’s way to the top
Our ego mind
Is like a brute force hellion
Set on being king
Of our thoughts
It parades ideas and beliefs
Wrapping them in emotions
Trying to make our heart
Believe that we are the stories
That tie identity to us
But that is
A mischievous untruth
We came here all knowing
As nothing
With nothing
No name
No Identity
No prejudice
No judgement
No possession
No obsessions
We came
As pure awareness
But our ego wants us
To somehow be more
It convinces us that striving
Is the best way
Doing this achieving that
Being better than this one
Doing more than that one
Creating distance and distractions
From who we really are
We are
Pure awareness
Un-conscious sub-conscious
Wrapped in consciousness
Encased in human form
All knowledge and understanding
Are already ours
If we are brave enough
To dive deep into our heart
And remember who we really are
If we put our ego mind aside
The Kingdom of God
Within us resides
