Violence! Product of the mind, 
Short of love, void of kind,
Good compassion left behind,
Cherished adoration undermined.

What draft? What current task?
Look beneath each prevalent mask,
Seek truth, pray, fail not to ask,
Which leaf to eat? Bread and wine? Which oaken cask?

Essence! Beauty inhabits every soul,
Nature's seed is never droll,
Imagine lotus, blooming, soaring tall from sandy shoal,
Awake! Arise! Create ascending, most perfect goal.

Buddha, prostrate, deep meditation,
Seeking light, revering God's perfection,
Dharma, generously given through good selection,
Free of hate, disengaged from violent infection.

Cosmic star, enlightened spirit,
Quiet one's busy mind, can you hear it?
Forge brave ahead, don faith, never fear it,
Practice Nirvana, in time you'll near it.

Heaven's tears, cleanse, like cool rain,
All life suffers, this earthly plane,
Eightfold path, sacred seed, holy grain,
Right thought, right action, nourish life, riding this blessed train.
