I am my own Buddha

Prompt 6 - ekphrasis poem

   I am my own Buddha

In silence and serenity you live

With hands on your laps

In a pose of padmasan 

Radiating enlightenment

Reflecting; 

you are off materialistic ally

Looking at me with closed eyes

As though making me feel inferior

Because of grevious  sins on my soul

I walk on this earth very old

Nay! i am not a loser as you make me feel

With your locked eyes 

you make me feel as a criminal

A crown on your head is a proof

You still have a greed to conquer 

A world that you made but is unconquered

And you decided to never be like us

Standing on my place and looking as i do

From there you just look at me with glory 

Displaying  pompously your enlightenment

I smile to see you naive, immatured

I am not laughing at your sins and greed

Neither am i making mockery of your clothes

You are you i am me

You live as you want to live

It's your karma that will decide your form

It's my karma i am here, looking down on you

As you have a notion about me

I am sitting here with closed eyes

With no physical form but just enlightenment

 In deep meditation for the world

I have renounced for betterment of people

Like you and all the others 

I want you all to follow the path of Dharma

Dharma! This word makes me laugh

Which dharma you talk about?

Give me one dharma that is the truth

Most of the dharma in our world are fake

These  Gurus, and religious leaders

Who takes the place of yours

Under the huge conopy of dharma

I can see their inflation of egos

When people throng around them

If i need to follow, i shall follow you

Direct as you did for noble cause of people

If i need to follow Dharma, 

It shall be in a form of noble service 

To not hurt any living beings 

as much as possible.
