Buddhism RE-visited!

Disclaimer: The poem is a simple outburst of emotion, All characters are a figment of my imagination, any resemblance to anyone living or dead is almost co-incidental.. ;)


Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, All is bright.
Shepherds hear the Cows and Bulls sing,
Alleluia, Hail our King!
A brand new saviour is born..
Oh, yet another saviour is born!

'Buddha of now' - he's calls himself by the name,
Habits though wild, At heart he's tame..
Simple living - low needs, low standards and taste,
High thinking - Fly around the moon with bats, this land is a waste.
But coz his task is to bless and heal the mankind,
He lives like a mortal, killing mice, putting all his wishes behind..

Carefully if you saw, round his face even the 'Halo' is there,
Only coz he's different, its not light but hair!
That 'distinguished' appeal, that sparkle in his eyes..
Long kurtas, Wealthy paunch - that look of the intellectuals and the wise!
An aura of divinity around him, holy chants always filling the air..
Buuurrrrrrp.. Grrrunnttt.. Gloaaaaat.. Yaawwwwnnn.. Bbuurrrpppp.. cant you hear!

Mastered words ten of marathi, Hindi even few..
But my friend, a holy soul needs no language to speak to you!
Compassionate at heart, Love all women and 'men' alike..
Looks that of a hero, when he rides his bike!
Those wits unmatched, humor funnier than funny..
That charm that gives every 'uppi', a run for his money!

Blessed is our man, and so are we..
For in his heavenly company, we get to be..
For a lesson or two on life even we can learn,
Purify our lives, have our sins undone..
But all said and done, A mind gifted only to the very few..
And in my most humble words, thats Dhadi for you!


With love to Dhadi.. :)
