Poem
We are all seeking Happiness When all we want is Peace When we turn within, we will find it And our stress and worry will cease Peace is an inner thing Tt is a state of Mind If we can only be quiet This treasure we will find There is a Monkey within That jumps from thought to thought Our very own Mind is the thief That must in our quest be caught And so, we lose our Peace of Mind As we fillour Mind with junk Tfwe want to restore Peace within We must make the Monkey a Monk Until we stop this 'Ever Yearning' And we stop our constant crave We will take stress and anxiety With us into our grave Peace is the foundation of Happiness Without Peace there can be no bliss If we want to be really Happy In our Mind we must plant this It starts with making the Mind still Stopping it froma burst of thoughts Tying the Mind with a virtual rope Tightly with many knots We live with worry, anxiety, and stress Right through our life The cause may be a failing business Ora nagging husband or wife But the pity is life will soon be gone And we will lose the treasure of Peace Only worries we will carry with us When this gift of life will cease In ignorance we search for worldly things Rubies, diamonds and gold Turmoil and worry will create wrinkles And soon we will be old We run through life like mad men Seeking this and that We get lost in a world of desires We become as blind as a bat As long as our Mind is not still We can never enjoy Peace The Monkey Mind jumps here and there From New York to Rome, and Greece But we don't need to go anywhere Peace ifwe want to find All we have got to dois this Just still the Monkey Mind The Mind fills us with negative thoughts Of anger, revenge and hate It creates so much worry and stress That we exist in a joyless state First we must flip from NEP to PEP From negative to positive We must give a shampoo to the Mind Then with Bliss and Joy we will live We must discover the Monk within And live like a Peaceful Soul The challenge is to discover this It's our life's ultimate goal We must be Conscious, Aware, Awake To Realize the Truth of Life Then we will be free from all stress Worry, Anxiety and Strife We are not the body or the Mind We are the Divine Soul But the Monkey Mind and Ego together Makes the ME pay the toll We lose this gift of Peace of Mind The source of joy and bliss Because of the Monkey Mind within This treasure of life we miss There is away to find this Peace We must cut the Monkey's tail
