Part II - The Monkey Wearing Its Suit of Armour.

I've had just enough time to...   see the monkey wearing its suit of armour

Taken in the same temple in Kathmandu of the monkey wearing its chain of armour.

The Monkey wrapped itself in chain

Invisible

Only to itself

And the others wonder why

It so willingly

Wears its burden

But the monkey feels safe

In its chains

Of armor

That was how I found the monkey

In the temple

Still wearing its chains

A century after

The Burden of the Wishing Tree.

I've had just enough time...   to feel the burden of the Wishing Tree.

Taken not far from Shaolin Temple, China.

 

I can feel the burden of Wishing Tree,

Leaden to the ground with the wishes of others.

Its one wish (but no one asked)

Is to be free of these wishes of others.
