Dial Ego for Murder

Dial Ego for Murder

 

 

disparage my heart,

insult my love

placate your own vanity

assuage the impatience of your 

superfluous, spandex mind

 

but never doubt that sincerity

gets its revenge.

my ego has tried to murder me many a time, It now has a muzzle and a mirror and is reduced to murmurs:) no room for ego in poetry says the bunny brother Jacob:/ but that revenge stuff well that's what I am hoping for

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you, brother bunny...
yes, no room for it at all...

[Paul Bell]

Getting down to the dirt now in the election.
Sadly, those two aren't fit to lead America.
Bad times ahead me thinks.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I know many feel as you do, Paul...will be a strange election for sure.

The vain and mendacious may spin their webs of deceit, sooner or later, "the truth will out" -- as my Gran always said.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, sooner or later...

Love the title. Does ego get its revenge, a bit like karma. Another smart write where the raw edges are polished.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

perhaps it does, also...but i like sincerity's revenge much better..:)))

[Diana]

What a title (and an ending). Very much like a murder mystery novel a-la-ego converted into poem form. Hats off!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you, Diana,

The finest words as ever, dear sir., placing your thoughts in such an exacting way. No guesswork needed, tis there to read, to understand the skill of its presence.. and a nod of agreement alongside. Bur sometimes an ego whispers cos is afraid to be heard then analysed and found seriously in need of.. all sorts. Perhaps.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Thank you for your insightful review, em...

Ego might be a small word but, by all that's ginormous, it has its way with minds plura! :)

Sincere notions of tender emotions lie in
colors of water Lillies where love is easy to embrace... tenderly, Pat

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your words, Pat,

Agreed. I like to hope and think that the since and that those with integrity do win in the end. But it gets harder and harder to believe that.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

and integrity is falling behind,
thank you, adorno...
