Buddha's words for the world today
India 323 BC...Alexander
The greatest son Mother earth our planet bears witness to
Left the world in vacuity
Due to a mystique illness - Aids-HIV positive
The scientists' debate until today and will endless debate Tomorrow
And centuries thereafter
For humans are important and frigid when it comes to deciphering Death
Death is the sole domain of God
Who am I?
God or human
Human
Human like Rama
Who symbolises the victory of the god versus evil
Human like Krishna
Who is the icon of Gyana - the light of the world
Humans who err in flesh and blood
The bloody epics (Pun intended) of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata
Bear testimony to these human follies
Where was prevailed over peace
Life lost and death won
Human tastebuds cherish blood
Be it of mankind or the animal worlds
Rama...Krishna...Jesus...Mohammed And I Are humans
Don't make gods out of us
Humans who cherish blood
The bow...The Sudershana Chakra...The cross
The goal was to kill
Even Christ cherished blood - His own
And Mohammed of his kith and kin
Slaughter Humans
Sacrificial lambs
Under the garb of holy wars and crusades
Castigate...crucify...butcher
Kill...kill...kill
Yesterday
As do nuclear weapons and atomic bomb blasts
Today
Bush or Laden
London or Kurukshetra
Hitler or Alexander
Churchill or Stalin
The motto is one
Blood...Murder...Massacre
Human beings cherish blood
And humanity blood baths
Even I Buddha worshipped as an internationalised apostle of peace
By my disciples In India, China, South East Asia
U.K., Europe and USA in the world today.
Cherished blood in my childhood
Sheer ecstasy...brilliant chromatics...melodious synaesthesia
The beautiful white swan flying high in the blue indigo skies
Free
Bringing X generation aircrafts and many of the modern flying machines
To shame in take-off and skydiving
The pretty bird bathing in the amber red rising sun
And now silhouetted in flamingo dawn
Picasso's art at its best
The pure white swan transforms to crimson red - The old rose prismatic rainbow
The nature's kaleidoscopes splashing colours
And competing with palette of Leonardo Da Vinci
No
It is the bird drenched in a spectrum of blood-rubious red
The skilled archer's piercing arrow has found its target
The fluttering and feeble heart of the lovely flying bird
The beautiful white innocent swan
Which now peacefully lay in my young lap-achromatic
Awaiting death
All this while the innocent and moist eyes of the doe eyed white swan
Silently and speechlessly asked
The agonising question
`What right you have to take my life
When you cannot restore it back?'
Shame on you, Humans
Humanity disgraced
The only way out is Ahimsa-non-violence
No religion
Advocates war or a vulgar road shows violence actually
It is the bloody blind fundamentalists, fascists and fanatics who do
They ignobly play with religion to make the conversion package more lucrative
The turbulent river of blood overflows infinitely
Without any qualms of conscience or remorse
Man-eaters...Cannibals...
`Buddha's tears are not enough -
Generals father wars and humanity is bastardised'
- Poets lament
Wars...the plague of mankind...why?...Why not peace?
As a solution to the differences of men and women
And what about crimes against women?
Women
Whose wombs give birth to humankind
Whose breasts feed mankind?
Both Ramchandra and I
Are guilty of crimes against women
Ramchandra banishing the pregnant Sita to the vana, the exile in forest
And I of leaving the sleeping beauty - Yashodhara
Tip toeing out like a midnight thief
In my quest for sanyasa and enlightenment
By renouncing worldly treasures and breaking family bonds
Without an apologia - To Our Ardhanginis
Sita and Yashodhra were ideal wives
Who raised our children as single parents
We err...we are human
Amidst the chirping Bulbuls conducting a Mozart like orchestra
As I sit in Samadhi (penance), meditating in tranquillity
Under the Peepal tree in serene Bodhgaya ...
I am the sun of hope
I Gautama Sidhartha have attained Buddhahood
