+ Lotus-Roots Poem by Jordan Legaspi

Lotus-roots

I was then a prisoner of death
-face of hundreds and thousands from birth

I was then I dreamer of name
-treasure and wealth; title and fame

I was then hunger of discipline, education and training
-the aim for growth and maturity and learning

I was then on state I thought of what is health and good
-thus, the great Buddha against the fraud



Note:
Inspired from the four “Noble Truth”
taught by Gautama Buddha, the “Enlightened One”.
