Which Horse You Ride

 “Which Horse You Ride”

The changes in the world are strange at best

People argue and fight, releasing the ego's nest

Never realizing that’s one of the ego's tools

When they use it, it leaves us feeling like fools

When we stop, think and decide

Which horse you're gonna ride

The one that bucks and kicks you off

Or the one that whispers so nice and soft

One runs on anger, pride, and fear

It shouts so loud you think it's clear

It promises power, respect, and fame

But leaves you empty, full of blame

The other is quiet, you barely hear

It speaks through love, draws friends near

It asks for nothing, just to give

And shows the only way to live

One horse runs wild, tearing apart

The other rides straight through the heart

One throws you down in dust and pain

The other walks you home again

So look at the reins you hold so tight

Ask who is leading in this fight

The ego screams, “Take all you can!”

The soul just whispers, “Love your man.”
