Gautama

Sangha
Community of reverence
The blood of monks flowing into
The river of unification
Belief whirling in the currents
Human spillage of religious
Fevers

Shoulders put together
Backs into it
Hearts pounding out the
The thunderous beat
One purpose
The power of peace
Flowing down the tributaries

The warriors
In the epoch struggle
Compassion spills
The frosting of love
It makes the bolt action sticky
Flowers in the barrels
Blot the tear from the eye
