Why should the mud say

Why should the mud say, I am important

For I tell you, it is not,

Breath will return to the master,

Dust to dust, and you are gone.

No need of ego, 

Ego that blinds,

In the dust of earth,

Not a trace can one find.

Neither can the mighty be found

Nor could the king's abound,

In the dust of ages,

Only some mummies abound.

Why then live in ego,

Why then live in pride,

Everything is vanity,

Let us live our lives.

This world needs love and 

you'll find, all are in need,

So what, if they are silent,

So what, if no one heeds.
