Sangfroid Buddha

Decades of sweat and toil Turn a filthy hell-hole The colossal disasters efface Even the civilized human race The bereaved throat sobs Every eye sheds tears Yet amid the weird graveyard The tranquil Buddha sits unmoved! (In tsunami-smitten Shrilanka this was the scene in one of the graveyards)
