White Rice Soup

The grains of rice
In the hot pot
water boiling
Down and up

This life
Feel the pain
Together with many others
Like a rice grain

As long as the heat is there
The sufferings will not be done
Looking for the nirvana
The samsara is too long

After the time takes it's course
The raw hard rice grains
Now become
Part of the rice soup

The energy of the sun
The nutritions of the earth
And the hardwork of the farmers
Through the summer

To the stomach
Digestion processes
Down the drain
Tomorrow's wastes
