EGO

Dont lose moments in the clutches of ego

even though to succumb might seem too tempting to forego

the comatose existence in ego's embrace

kills precious moments without a trace

the joy of being with our loved ones marred by a word

as we never pause to see how absurd

Hashem (G-D) gives us the strength to step back

bringing our perspective back on track

thus with understanding threatening to invade

forgiveness diminishing ego's tirade

we awaken with the pain of moments long dead

But also with the knowledge that joy will now spread

and each moment will not seem lost but a gift instead

UNITY

Unity is the vessel of Hashems (G-D'S) blessing

To turn a blind eye is to keep on guessing

When the road gets bumpy many choose retreat

Unwilling to find a point where all may meet

In blind sight they see victory and not defeat

Paving the way for discord to find its ringside seat

Where it bears witness to the destruction which follows in its wake

My! how self righteous obduracy discounts what is at stake

Yet if blessing and prosperity you desire

And to meaningful growth you aspire

Then let unity be your constant attire

Allowing Mashiach(the Messiah) to finally extricate us from Diaspora's quagmire
