For over a thousand years monks have been praying for peace

Whether they were Chinese Indian or Vietnamese

They survive and meditate on mountains in snow and sleet

Mostly keeping to themselves in their most humble retreat

Built on useless land on a cold and windy snowy peak

Where others would not ever live it is so wild and bleak

Their residence lack comfort for they do not arrogate

They are filled with love and charity and they do not hate

Living in monasteries their lifestyles is secluded

While some are allowed to marry others are precluded

They believe clean life will alleviate anxiety

By banning the bomb we'd have a better society

They still wish the world was better and their wishes are pure

Even though their prayers go unanswered they still endure
