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
I was told 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

It's meant to make you smile Walt. And please know it's not to make a religious statement nor to slam anyone's religion  or religious beliefs either.

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