Sept.-Dec., 2024
Ego is a robo call, Calling every day
Not knowing who’s on the other end
I pick up the phone and say
“Hello, how can I help you?”
It responds in a disruptive way
Giving me a slick sales pitch
To hijack my happy day
At once, I know I do not want
What it is trying to sell
Behind the guise of helpfulness
It’s fearful motives ring clear as a bell
It doesn’t take long for me to know
Who it is that is talking
What it says makes no sense at all
Just empty mindless squawking
I’ve learned that when ego calls
And interrupts my day
Instead of engaging with its silly story
It’s much easier to calmly say
“I have no need for what you are selling
No, thank you, have a nice day”
I hang up the phone without another thought
And continue on my happy way
