(An urge to the great Banyan Tree under which The Buddha got enlightenment)
The World needs a Buddha again,
Help us, thou shall O! Banyan tree,
Humanity all over the black stain.
Trauma, affliction and only pain,
No peace no harmony, you agree,
The World needs a Buddha again.
Brotherhood & affection assumed in vain,
Greed and jealously today’s decree,
Humanity all over the black stain.
Driven by all efforts so mundane,
Cut throat acts, rampage & spree,
The World needs a Buddha again.
Nature sobs on deeds; utterly insane,
Man turning it into a brown debris,
Humanity all over the black stain.
To His creation, man showing full disdain,
Please save mankind and make us free,
Humanity all over the black stain,
The World needs a Buddha again.
Good afternoon and see you next time.

Beautiful, JM. I think there are Buddhas in the world yet, scattered here and there. Perhaps not many, but even a sprinkle of sugar can make the difference in whether a dish is palatable.
Absolutely correct. We need just one Buddha to tackle the world as it is right now. Thanks for the nice words.
