The metal Buddha

2014 image, Gurgaon 

Where the vision was green

The metal buddhas

Made their appearance on

The entrance of the gates amidst chaos.The

Subtle reminders of the fruit

Of silence lay with price tags on the stand.

World is funny.It gets suspicious when we

Ignore and enter the gates to eat

All the fruits of patience and perseverance,the

light shines and world heals at the cost of a lost smile.

Buddhas laugh again draped in light and

       Drink the venom of darkness, then spit !

It overflows ..spreading out

 shrieks of unrequited love. The

Sacred stones!Biting tongues with chattering teeth.
