Egos And Corridors

 

I have no doubt that, at some stage of our lives, each one of us has had to deal with a certain person or group of people, commonly known as bullies.

Malicious ones

You stand in groups tightly packed

Tones lowered

Stances tossing messages to those passing by

Pompous and arrogant

Attitudes of supremacy

Joining forces

For fear of standing alone

Snipers you are

Seeking and attacking

Determined to destroy 

Malicious backstabbing

A necessary evil or a simple obnoxious delight

Tools with which to feed your egos

Hollow souls lacking in depth

Devoid of empathy

Self-indulgence at any cost

Ambitious wonders you may think you are

Ascending ladders of success

On weaker bodies you tread

Oh pitiful ones

Educated souls you may think

In your wake you leave sadness and disbelief

Channel your fierce insecurities

Not to pollute others

But at yourselves

Look deep within 

Take heed of the damage inflicted upon Self

And realise that you are in fact the morally lesser ones

Prepare yourselves

For that which is the law of cause and effect

Cannot ever be avoided

It will grip you

Robbing you of that inner peace

Bringing with it harsh lessons to be learnt

Face the demons of your past

Break their hold

No need to hide your insecurities and pain

Channel that energy

For you hold the power

Create space for the good and the beautiful

Truly experience kindness and empathy

Give to those in the corridors

For your own inner healing to begin
