The Id, the Ego

The Id, the Ego,
The baser instinct,
Drunken rebellion
Ancient earth,
At the stem, the root…
 
Love of self,
Overwhelming all else,
Rutting in the ground,
Raising another glass of mead,
of gluttony, excess…

The Id, the Ego

Based on poem, “From “Tempest””
By Roberto Carlos Garcia
and play, “The Tempest”,
by William Shakespeare,
and my 10^th great grandfather,
Stephen Hopkins,
who survived the wreck of the Sea Venture
and sailed to the New World on the Mayflower
