Peace of Mind

What we need is what we get
What we want we should forget

Life is better when we get knowledge and wisdom
Simple ways to the Creators kingdom

Cut the ties of want and greed
Feed your soul with what you need

Along the way you will find
All your desires and wants kept you from peace of mind

Chris, a wonderfully written poem with truths, I have been considering this thing of want and need, survival and desire, reality and dream, and how to only dwell in peace !
