Possessions Poem by Marcus Czarnecki

Possessions



Yes I'm a Buddhist and I have much
My friend is also Buddhist and he also doesn't have much but for different reasons
I don't know Buddhists who don't have things because they don't want anything
I am the decisions I made
I was in the kind jobs that didn't do pensions
I worked for theatres and charities.. so minimal pension plans

These are the risks I took living this kind of life..
living on the edge of society

Trying to change society
Trying to be a change maker
Evolving from within that society
I could have been a lawyer
Lying to everyone
Being respected being tempted by big money and quick fame in corrupt political circles - Where would I have been then..

I did my best to try to be best placed as a man of correct moral standing in order to be great in the Truest sense of word.

There are costs but they have a different price.
My philosophy is the Buddha's true law of ichinen sanzen
Three thousand realms
Without is as within.
The true teaching
