Somewhere A Buddha Sits
Somewhere
a Buddha sits
smiling
with Lotus feet….
In Korea they are rioting
NO American beef
police clash
clubs hit
and blood spills
water
hoses away
all signs
Somewhere a Buddha
opens his eyes
angels unfurl wings..
John testifies he’s never
seen a firestorm like the one in
Golden California
raging, still raging
and 60% now agree to offshore drilling
open ANWR
and the swimming pools are mosquito-laden
at Six Flags in Georgia
a teenager scales two fences to a
“Restricted Area”
he is decapitated,
we are shocked
meanwhile in Zimbabwe, the crises of leadership
is resolved, the winner loses…
and Bush speaks about stolen elections..
Somewhere there’s a lesson to be learned
and somewhere the third eye opens,
Lightning crashes.
