Buddha

Who sat beneath the Bodhi tree

To set on a newfangled venture

Spaced out from this self-seeking world

Occupied with envy and desires

You who conquered enlightenment

And funneled the fellow followers

Is worthy of being worshiped

For in this short life

We must comprehend and venerate

The lives of others.

We must abide by the rubrics

Not prepared by men

But by Mother Nature herself.
