There is a Herod in all of us
A false king pretending to be Messiah
An incessant voice nitpicking all the fuss
The ego who always wants to hear Hosana.
This king wants to be the center of the universe
always in command through talk, loud voice and verse
who hate silence because silence may rehearse
a revolution, an uprising, his kingdom reverse.
The secret silent Self watch smiling
watching the heights and depths of false experience
no judgement, no thoughts, just simply living
This life of silent beauty steady effervescence.
There is no need to dethrone the false king
Let him be, love him, give him songs to sing
Let him command all illusions that life can bring
It is enough to simply watch him enjoy him in everything.
