Theme : Culture
Buddha

Buddha statueOver two millenniums ago
Our forefathers 
sculpted the mountains
Into the image of 
The Enlightened One
Who majestically and silently
Gave meaning to
The message of 
Compassion, Love, Brotherhood and Peace

Weathering the storms for 2000 years
The Silent Buddha
Witnessed 
The Birth, Life and Death
Of 10000 generations that included 
our father, our grandfather and their ancestors
Who inspite of
varied values and philosophies
cherished the message of 
Compassion, Love, Brotherhood and Peace

Until
A new generation…
Our generation
Became Taliban
That violates
The Very Understanding of our ancestors
A generation that proves its incapability
By its inability to duplicate
The majesty of Art, Craft and Sculpture
Leave aside preserving
The Heritage and Legacy
Bestowed upon us by our Ancestors
The message of 
Compassion, Love, Brotherhood and Peace

So frustrated are we
As Talibans
That by using
Lethal ammunition
We mock our manhood
by attempting to
destroy
A Silent Mountain
That symbolized 
Compassion, Love, Brotherhood and Peace

Not realizing
That the bullet-marks 
only reinforce
Buddha
the symbol of 
Compassion, Love, Brotherhood and Peace.
