A Thought for Wesak
One Morning on the day of Vesak
I went into a temple and to my luck
I met a young monk mooching along
Where I payed homage as he smiled and said "Carry On"
Venerable Sir, Please Explain me
For I am confused, please be my saviour thee
There are many Vesak attractions in the streets to see
Tell me why is this temple so calm, as it seems to be
"My Dear" he said in a soothing voice
All you see from front appears to be nice
But what is inside, to me is full of lust
Which is definitely a hindrance, that will vanish like dust
But Venerable Sir, I did protest
Please see for yourself, I thought to conquest
Every individual coming all the way from cities and Villages
Feel Happy and contended, irrespective of diverse ages
"I will explain" he made me clear
All this glamour is for one day, for your eyes to see and ears to hear
But the person who conquors his senses and mind
Will be the highest contended, which is rare to find
Further more he did explain
"The Glamour on this day I will never Complain"
But for those who prefer everlasting Happiness
Will find it only within himself, to find it elsewhere is complete foolishness
The Beauty of the full moon is seen only in the temple
The sound of the "Gantara" to the ear is so soothing and simple
Please don't forget on this wesak day
To come to the temple, for a change diverting from the usual way
