Not compassionate conservatism
Ala George W. Bush
That type hates poor people
And goes into the Middle East
To **** hundreds of thousands
Of innocent men, women and children

Rather, Buddhist compassion
The kind that knows there is no hope
That tells you you have an untreatable
Fatal disease (desire)
But precisely because there is no hope
The Compassionate Buddha
Like a wise and kind doctor
Promises to stay with you
And suffer with you
To the very end

And then
To chant you
Into the mystery of mystical silence.

Totally unknowable.

Nirvana. Extinction of Desire.
Crowned knot of Fire.
