MOANING CAME FROM OWNING

Trustees in life don't experience sorrow
They don't own anything so sorrow cannot follow
Everything of this world is easy come, easy go
Things come to them and when it's time to go, then that's the natural flow
Nothing stays forever it's just meant to visit
They'll never say "I'm keeping this , for this is exquisite"
They never try to own anything or own anyone
Even the body they are using will one day be gone
The soul marches on to continue its present state
A crying new born baby that created its fate
For what's mine is mine will one day become what's yours is mine
Predators of life never feel fine
Enough is a feast but for them it's never enough
Their insecurity is met with surrounding themselves with a lot of stuff
For the fear of loss always follows them around to burst their bubble
When gross things own your mind, you're really in trouble
My this , my that and all that myness
It looked an addition but was really a minus
What would the world be like if attachment were no more
Natural happiness would be coming knock on your door
They thought God was attached and had His favourites
Mans false concepts he taught and has to pay for it
For his gain today will be his loss tomorrow
Ownership promises happiness but only delivers sorrow
We're just trustees but set ourselves up as owners
The end is always the same, a world of moaners
A trustee doesn't have to run after money or status
It comes naturally like servers and waiters
The ones that use the facilities are separate to the facilities we use
To think they're mine is use and abuse
You may think this is just a poem about life
But if you take it on board, you will end life's strife
It's something to be worked on that will change any off mood
We came as visitors without a bad attitude
And all those suicides due to loss or not getting what they desired
Would no longer happen if they were just rewired
Nothing is mine, not even this mortal coil
Nothing to be fearful about or make the blood boil
And all those expectations and our demanding natures could be put to bed
Clouds of worry and despair no longer in the head
They say that peace is a state of mind
It's the result of a mind that carries on blind
As a child we felt so rich when we had a pound
Now we work for a mansion, but happiness will not be found
For it chasing happiness away, can't you see
We have everything when nothing can become a part of me
For everything you own becomes a part of you
It's just an illusion that can never be true
For though it may be yours on paper
It is virtues raper and their chief cremator
The more they own, the more they stress
They go after more and increase their unrest
You buy an elephant you have to feed it
The flames of desire destroy a stable mind, and they don't even need it.
