*samsara Poem by nimal dunuhinga

*samsara

Rating: 3.4


Oh! I watch this wonderful game in a lonely park.
A millionaire strikes a small ball with his iron club
And it flies to infinity,
He goes behind that happily.
The poor sinner caddy too crawls towards him
with a heavy bag that full of debts on his oblique shoulder.

*[ The endless journey, what 'Buddha' explains; cycle of unlimited births & deaths.]

Interesting take on what Twain called 'a good walk spoiled.' Terse and thought-provoking.

Your comment on the different levels of society is especially telling because you do not tell us what to think - you simply draw a picture and let us draw our own conclusions.

Wonderful poem. Profound in drawing the inexplicable analogy betwixt a game of Golf and the ties of the worldly woes (janmasamsaara bandhanam) .

I just laughed at this and thank you for writing what sounds true enough to be very funny.

The first moves onwards happily and in a mood of victory and the second follows only in compulsion to earn his livelihood...
