Jungle

This world is the jungle in which you roam; fear is the lion which
drives you up the tree of samsara (worldly activities). Anxiety is
the bear that terrifies you and dogs your every step in this world,
so you slide down into attachments and binding deeds through the
twin roots of hope and despair. Day and night are the rats which
nibble away at the span of life. Meanwhile, you try to snatch a
little joy from the sweet drops of egoism and the 'I' feeling.
Finding at last that the drops do not give true fulfillment, you
shout in the agony of renunciation, calling on the Guru; the Guru
appears from within or without, and saves you from fear and anxiety.
