Eternal Wish



When I was young
I thought I could change the world
Make mountains of mole hills
Turn satans to saints.

Now that I am older
I have come to realize
The Nature of these Bloody people
Were not made in a day
Or in a year, or in a lifetime
Rather, it was aeons of conditioning.

Even Buddhas merely show the way
People themselves must strive
But then, even with the greatest effort
It may not come to much
And so I have decided that
I'd better change myself.
