you say that
man's only claim is
his happiness

i agree

you say that
the cause of suffering is
man's concept of self

i agree

you ask the questions
you search for the answers
and you look down upon
lesser mortals who cannot fathom
your divinity and transcendence

you are buddha on a mountain
alone and cold
you look down and curse us
for basking under our own
ignorance and lack of vocabulary

you talk about existence
but you do not talk about life
and yet you say that man's only claim is
his happiness

now i tell you this
in happiness
to each his own...
to each his own

(for hoseal... may you truly find your answers and yourself)
