Poem Artwork

The Golden Temple --
A sacred target of Fire,
The only match for
The precious Metal
And irrepressible lust for it.
 
Once you meet a buddha
Standing in your way,
Kill the Buddha --
Your burnt-to-ashes heart
Is the sole ultimate task.

Reviewed by Ronald Hull
Reviewed on January 24, 2018
This one leaves me confused. I know that the effigy of Buddha and all of its forms is usually covered with gold, one gold leaf square offering at a time, but why write about "killing" a Buddha, one of the most peaceful of deities?

Except, however, you may be writing from the heart of the disgraceful thief who burns the temple so that he can easily gather the melted gold in the ashes.
