Asian Poverty

Someone asked Buddha "Are you god or human?" Buddha replied , "I dont know, but while the world was sleeping I woke up" I tried to wake up too, into the reality From the very matrix i was into And what i got in return? A misry, pain and darkness I mean If you have to wake up from sweet dream You see, your dream resembles past, you chose your dreams Would you chose deforested hill for snow capped mountains? Would you give away your nostalgic pencil for money? No Buddha you are wrong You see Buddha I can dream the taste of pinapple cream and tell it's not tasty I can sense Branded Nike shoes and tell its not comfortable Why do you want me to wake Buddha? I am living life on my dreams Its good in exchange for day to go without bread Dreaming is free Budhha, reality is not But i feel you Buddha, you always wanted to leave Lumbini, didnt you? so one day you woke up while everyone else were sleeping Even your wife, did you bade her farewell? You woke up cause you saw a sick , a old and a dead person You are a joke Buddha You know i wake up when my roof starts to leak rain or When my dad coughs of his heart disease I have been waking up everyday more far from enlightment You are god buddha cause as a human I cant so it
