Best Lama Poems
Lama DramaThoughts that thrive on scattered dreams
shoot through the mind like laser beams
Hunger echoes a hollow song
Voices merge, intestines long
Lips are dry, and tongues are parched
Memories are pressed and starched
No miming board can take the heat
Hot irons that scorch the hands and feet.
Cold days flow into...

A Dalai Lama QuoteThere are only two days in the year that nothing can be done
One is tomorrow and the other is yesterday with no reruns
How true, this Dalai Lama quote
Comforting words to keep us afloat
It's not word for word, but today is the day to love everyone

Kundun, a Movie About the Dalai LamaWhat struck me is that it showed him
Always leaving

At his family home
Going to Llasa
To be (re)educated
Tenzin Gyatso was found as a young child
Went through many tests to prove
That he was the 13th Dalai Lama
Reincarnated
He passed the tests
“That cup is mine”
“These prayer beads...

Dalai LamaDalai Lama
Dalai Lama, the Buddhist monk
giggles a lot
when interviewed on TV
he sounded like Readers Digest
platitude upon platitude
between giggles.
He walked a lot wore solid boots.
In the background, a Tom & Jerry show
with the sound turned off.
The impression was that of a village idiot.
Why does...

The Dalai Lama sat on a peaceful bench, not that far away!

So set off to sit on this Anglesey delight,
When I got to Llanbadrig church,
The wind was swirling high on...
