The Funny Monkey in Me!

Up and running,
There is a Funny Monkey,
Always teaching me volumes, more,
Than any library.

All speech to myself.
And, then, discerning silences:
Perform their rites,
To guide me to light.

The Funny Monkey understands,
My sins and sorrows,
Picked by me,
Made out of hollow decisions.

To mend myself,
The lessons learnt:
Make me wise.
The Funny Monkey is my guide.

Up and running,
There is a Funny Monkey!
Always teaching me volumes, more,
Than any library.
