House of cards

it came to pass
that the world we built
collapsed when it was tested

the fault line of course was ego
serial offender out on bail
disturbing the peace

the universe tests us
again and again and again
do we smile when the blood flows

perhaps our time has not arrived
becoming a Buddha must wait
our heart flutters in the wind
