Ego!!! (Poem)

 

 All the Egos I know are beautiful

A go for men to chase them

But men with Ego’ are ugly

Not a go to win the pace after Women

Not all women named Ego are identifiable

But all men with Ego’ are

By their looks you wouldn’t know

But their words and attitude spell Ego’

Telling you that they have Ego’

Ego, an irony, a name and an attribute

To love, to hate, to treasure, to chastise

To name your female child but set a red line

For her, in her relationship with him that has Ego’

For his Ego’ is no match for your Ego

And a red light to End Giving Over Ego

To him that has Ego’.

Written and composed by Taiwo, Kehinde Oluwaseyi

Poem brief:

As observed in the poem, there are 2 characters, Ego and Ego’. The first in use, Ego, refers to a feminine name from the ibo tribe, the Eastern part of Nigeria which has its full form as Nwakaego. Nwakaego means “a child is better than money”.   

While the other, Ego’, refers to the egocentric man or an egoist, known for only thinking about himself and not about what other people need and want, precisely the feminine gender in this vein.
