Closing the Dharma Mall
by
J. M. Hallett
The Way, lost
And Man
So too, this planet earth
All come to naught
Obscured, erased
Obliterated
Neither on the horizon
Nor in the heavens yon
Gone
Ah, what could have been
Should have been
Had the Words been done
Words so simple they smother
"What you do not wish upon yourself
Do not extend to others"
But alas
On deaf ears, these Words fell
Was it greed?
War?
Religion?
Or another?
Matters not
Adios my sisters and brothers
