Can You Find the Rascal Mind

My mind is king; I thought it is everything! It makes me blink; it makes me think It gives me joy until I die The only problem with my mind… Where it is, I cannot find! It is my memory; it is my mind It is my intellect - one of a kind My greatest treasure is my mind The only problem with my mind… Where it is, I cannot find! The body I can see; the body I can find Likewise I am sure; I have a mind It is not yours; I know it is mine The only problem with my mind… Where it is, I cannot find! Suddenly, I realize these are not my mind… My intellect and my memory are of a different kind My mind is a monkey; a rascal my mind The only problem with my mind… Where it is I, cannot find! I then resolved to kill my mind The rascal I vowed, I must grind It made me worry; it made me fear Enough my dear, no more tear The only problem with my mind… Where it is, I cannot find! I made my intellect rule my mind I shot down thoughts of a monkey kind I wanted joy and peace of mind No more my king, my rascal mind I realized then there was no mind… It was a rascal! No need to find!
