pome (2.25.06)

An Enlightened Buddhist
Walked upon a baby starving and felt nothing;
He walked upon a baby smiling and felt nothing;
He walked upon a passionate and fiery sunset and felt nothing;
He heard the wails of the hungry and sick and felt nothing;
He saw the hopping of a playful calf and felt nothing
He received the smile of a lovely woman and felt nothing—
I, for one, felt very sorry for him.

Did you write this?

I believe it would be plagiarism to put a poem up written by someone else without their credit, so, yes.

Excellent, my friend, excellent.
