The Buddha\'s awakening

The Buddha emerges from 7 years of reflection under his tree.

He gives me a good smiling look and says mischievously :

-\'\' So boy,I hear you\'ve become a poet ? \'\'

- To know you to wear bomber and doc martens,

  starting a fight as you leave the stadium 

   what an incredible evolution ! \'\'

Then he made a slightly resigned gesture .

 -\'\' After so many meditative years and I don\'t know 

  how many illuminations ,I\'m waking up to a world

that hasn\'t changed and learned from past errors 

and horrors to come ! \'\'

 He pauses to take a sip of San Pellegrino .

After all this time he must be thirsty .

And he continues like this : 

 -\'\' sometime I think I should have gone

 into politics or business ,right now I\'d be US president ! 

  He sigh and adds :

-\'\' you see ,even my message is no longer popular

There are neo-buddhists chapels everywhere ,

seasoning my message with a holistic  touch ,

or other supermarket spirituality for cuckoos ! \'\'

 -\'\' okey man I\'m off to the local mcdo for a good burger ! \'\'

         My poor old Buddha .

Have you not penetrated the truth and finality of things

just to take note of the inulectable permanence ?

Since the place is free ,I\'ll settle under the tree 

while you go back to wallmart or convert to islam !

  I\'m going to become a therapist in fallen  divinities .

 I would have the visit from Jehova, Quetzalcoatl ,Jupiter

 and even Maradona ! 

 I\'d make love to a beautiful mahabarata princess

all scented with sandal wood ! 

 And who knows ,I\'ll get rid of that damn\' karma 

after 7 billions years of reflection and as many  illuminations !

   Bye, my dear Buddha w\'ell talk later !
