MorePoezije

Ego je smrtno stanje života i duše
u njemu se kriteriji i odluke sruše
to je prvi i temeljni smrtni grijeh
kojeg je sin tame donio na svijet.

Da ovlada srcima i djelima ljudi
da ego uzdiže, a ostale mrzi, kudi
stvara iluzije nedodirljivosti, moći
hladno, proračunato putevima kroči.

Kalkulira između posjedovanja i biti
što obznaniti, a što vješto, tiho skriti
sa kime i kad i zbog čega sjesti i piti
taktikama raznim oko ljudi plesti niti.

Poput pauka gdje mreža postaje plijen
kad se puno radi, a drugi se doima lijen
gdje sve se otima, a ustvari se prima, daje
šutnjom se kažnjava, a proces ipak traje.

Sve je zapravo u apsolutnoj kontroli
drugi se promatra, kažnjava i kori
sebi se podređuje da bi interes vladao
kupuje se skupo da bi se ego prodavao.

Uz što veću cijenu, brend i populizam
u kojem je važan pristup i aktivizam
sve je posloženo po preporuci i računu
u riječi kojima se prevrtljivo opet kunu.

Te iluzije moći, snage, opetovane slave
u kojoj se okreću, spuštaju i dižu glave
do trenutka kad srce u njima kucati stane
dok duh i duša u novom okruženju plane.

Vatrom poniznosti koja ga spali do kraja
gdje se ne vide dveri obećanog nam raja
gubitak i očajanje kao paralelno iskustvo
čine u njima sasvim drugačije prisustvo.

S ljubavlju, Željka.

The ego is a mortal state of life and soul,
where all discernment and decisions fall.
It is the first and most
fundamental deadly sin
that the son of darkness
brought into the world.

It seeks to rule the hearts and
deeds of people,
to exalt the ego while hating and
condemning others.
It creates illusions of
untouchability and power,
walking its paths coldly and calculatingly.

It calculates between
possessing and being,
what to reveal and what to cleverly,
quietly conceal;
with whom, when,
and why to sit and drink,
weaving threads around people
through countless tactics.

Like a spider, whose web
itself becomes the prey,
when one works hard while
another appears lazy;
where everything is seized,
yet supposedly received and given,
where silence is used as punishment,
while the process goes on.

In truth, it is all about
absolute control:
others are watched,
punished, and rebuked,
made subordinate so
that self-interest may prevail;
things are bought dearly so
that the ego may be sold.

At ever greater cost,
through brand and populism,
where access and activism are
considered important,
everything is arranged through recommendation and calculation,
in words by which they
deceitfully swear once again.

These illusions of power,
strength, and repeated glory,
within which heads turn, lower, and rise,
last until the heart within
them ceases to beat,
while spirit and soul
ignite in a new environment.

With the fire of humility,
which burns it to the end,
where the gates of the
promised paradise cannot be seen,
loss and despair,
as parallel experiences,
create within them
an entirely different presence.

With love, Željka.
