Poems

The prodigal—"self"

From the September 1983 issue of The Christian Science Journal


"Self"—usurping interloper—
Whether ignorantly vainglorious
Or inflated with vain knowledge,
abased
By true humility.

"I can do all things through Christ"—
The rightful heir of
The great I am;
hence,
"I go unto my Father":
The only Ego trip!
