A Poem a Day (224): Selfless

Selfless

If you are selfless

Do you offer up the self?

Will it fritter out

Unused, unfit for purpose?

This ego fighting fire,

Is it just troublesome

Or will it guide you out

When you need it most?

And what will it seek,

The self, with all its needs,

Its arrogance to take,

Its desire to prove itself?

If you become selfless

Will it make you happier?

Will you disappear altogether

Or just be less showy?
