Searching at the airport
Hari Krishna I became
Shaved my head to the bone
It never grew back the same

Journeyed to the mountains
found Dali Lama there
He smiled as he asked me
What happened to all your hair?

Buddha beckoned me next
thinking his wisdom is what I need
so I wore the orange robes
and increased my nightly feed

The Baptists wanted to drown me
the Catholics wanted my soul
the Reformists took away my dance
said it would make me whole

I tried to be an Amish chick
without the electricity
when I wanted to surf the net
they said it was an impossibility!

So where do I find that inner peace
man has sought throughout all time
perhaps I’ll just look right here
in my God-given verse and rhyme


(This is all in good humor, I hope no one of any religion is offended by this as there is no offense meant!)

Very cute PdV, very cute. Though your last lines are absolutely true, inner peace is found within ourselves.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

very nice as well as funny-- but with a thoughtful close

There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar.
