Divinity Is In Honesty Poem by Chan Mongol

DIVINITY IS IN HONESTY
By: Chan Mongol


Were you born here just automatically?

Have you been living here permanently?

All are in this transit place temporarily;

Now you see, now you don't and life is illusory.

Honest life, honest earning, honest speech, honest company;

Such were findings and Buddha's philosophy or prophecy.

Suffering, sorrow, death are not welcome for a body;

But such happen in the reality said by Buddha and me.

Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford except Jimmy Carter;

Reagen, Bush died and were war mongers but now where?

Do what you do but do in very holy way, sacredly, carefully:

In your acts, don't let anybody live painfully, miserably!

Hurting fellow a flesh and blood body is a sin;

Slaughtering or killing are notoriously mean.

So, what it's going to be done by you for the needy and for me?

Can you be purified for dignity, divinity, rationality, honesty?
