Poem: Thoughtless Existence
I used to pack my head full with thoughts
Not knowing how to package them nicely
I let them loose inside my mental framework
Not all of them were well behaved
Some thoughts just wanted to have fun
Yes, they were entertaining
But they were also exhausting
Consuming all my vital energies
I will wake up gloomy and exhausted
Other thoughts were too serious
Always surrounded by big questions and equations
Not that they wanted to conquer the world
But because they were addicted to mathematics and reason
Logic was their faith, solving problems was their mission
They were controlling and full of pride
There was another group of thoughts
These thoughts were full of wickedness
Deploying an evil web inside my mind
They wanted only to cause havoc
Not only to my psyche
But to those around me
There were competitive and bloated with wickedness
Full of jealousy, pride, greed and selfishness
These thoughts were mercenaries with no mercy
I caught them vomiting on my well-polished psyche
It was not nice stuff
It was acidic and sometimes evil
I had to clean up the mess they caused
Thank God I did not follow their ill-mannered path
I had to acquire a bigger broom and lots of spare time (spirituality)
In order to clean the whole substance of my mind
I had to sanitize every surface inside my psyche
And erected a thought proof fence around the whole of my mind
Nowadays they (thoughts) come on an invitation only ticket
I have surrounded myself with emptiness
And all my spare time is taken by Silence
I can rest in peace now
Inside my thoughtless existence
It’s heaven on earth
