When Egos Collide

It’s the cloud burst with a thunder,
A volcano erupting deep down under,
It’s the fire that spreads far and wide,
Calamity strikes, when egos collide.

Differing ideas start the fight,
It’s the dilemma of right vs. right,
Obsessed to the core with self- pride,
It’s the clash of wills, when egos collide.

Wild arrogance engulf the soul,
“An eye for an eye” the heart howl,
The insane mind goes for a ride,
Madness rushes in, when egos collide.

Break –ups, fights, families part,
Hatred divides the loved ones apart,
Kingdoms perish, Countries divide,
No one is spared, when egos collide.

Breaking the ice, as they say,
Does help put the egos away.
A warm smile can fill the void,
Speak your heart out, when egos collide.

But that’s easier said than done,
The first step seems lifting a ton
And pride keeps alive the ego inside,
Is there a way out, when egos collide ???
