Mao attaining…
(to buddhahood)
Mao you Chairman Buddha now
fat cat china cool
Tao, your zen red book
Great leap forward
bone to throw the masses off…
seeking you in bullett holes
wondering if their hero ever slept
how to tread the waters of
mass annihilation
imposed to rid them of the past
while you devoured every koan
laid waste your enemies
om om om
luck your belly rubbed
full of food
blood and
new Gautama
holy proletariat
collective revolution
(ha ha)
joyous too
what hat to hide
your balding crown
om
who wears the glasses
full of hope
om
time, your throne of reckoning
om
fragile china
om
om
om
and tell me oh
enlightened one…
who remembers now
that other you.
