Last Ritual Before a Monk

On anallizing Buddhism,i can safely say
the calming aura it gives off,when knelt down to prayer
it seems to have a feeling,that i would describe
contentment and peacefullness,is what i prescribe. 

Boys as young as five,who  chose to be a monk
being all of equallity,a level form of unsunk.
Going from my own sights,the monks just prayer and work
always doing something,no time it seems to lurk.

A gathering is held , and marching to the monestry
his hair is shaved,and danced along,like a little party
the villagers and family,are with him all the way
til he reaches the holy place,in which where he will stay.
