Buddha

If I could I would like to sit with Buddha under his tree

Ask him to make a better person of me

See I follow his paths and I fail badly

This affects my heart sadly

I am honest and I seek justness

This makes me tough and I have little forgiveness

He teaches one must give love to all and turn the other cheek

But I see this as being nothing but weak

I would ask him how he can except when someone has done him wrong

Why is it better to be a carpet and daily walked upon?

In my life I have found if you let people disrespect you time and time again

They learn nothing and it only causes you constant pain

So this is what I would ask then we´d share a bowl of rice

Sit peacefully get the cramps and fidget once or twice!
