Buddha

… I like him not the fat bellied one as there is too much hunger on the planet an overweight pouch does not seem right resembles too much opulent self-gratification and distracts from prayer and meditation the lean personification however sits pleasantly under the fig tree content with a rice bowl half empty which is really half full Buddha causes no suffering does not hurt any sentient being including themselves yes it could be a woman or binary human soul transcending all evil filling all chakras with joy bees and butterflies happily swirl around the ripening fruit as they direct their merriment towards nature and togetherness I inhale deeply hold my breath for a while then let out the air and for a moment or so forget all my sorrows and pain
