Lonely Buddha

I see a huge colossal of Siddhartha Buddha Detached and desolated by the side of the street  Standing tall but all alone in an alcove  Resided by a pair of dove.

I see a huge colossal of Siddhartha Buddha

Detached and desolated by the side of the street 

Standing tall but all alone in an alcove 

Resided by a pair of dove.

He’s Lord of compassion who set forth eons early 

An expedition to solve mysterious confusion 

Of human life as an illusion

And resolute the way of reconciliation

Now, he is forgotten

deserted by mankind as if he is an alien.

Thus, my Lord of tranquility

Stands all alone in a nook of the hustling bustling municipality

Like an unfolded book.

He contains such a psalm, engulfing all the humanity

Into an unknown realm of peace and love

Which now, only the pair of dove 

Residing under his arm could shove!!
