The Sad Buddha

By Anirban Roy Choudhury

Chaos all around, dissatisfaction at every 

step 

Society has lost the essence of peace, 

There is intense anger in varied forms and shapes- 

Amidst this, crisis is invading, societies with ease! 

This crisis of peace is dominant,still This fight for power is on since so many centuries 

Not just me, but the histories of civilizations reveal, 

No one could stop the decay of societies! 

To find out a solution, one ruler has tried, He left his kingdom to get answer long sought 

But alas! He also could not reach the 

solution, 

The dust of war still flies across the 

wheels of chariots! 

This sadness for failure of upholding peace and the common man's plight Is found even today in the tears of Lord Buddha's cries!
