TIBET

“LET ONE THOUSAND FLOWERS BLOOM”*


When Tibet is burning
Hu Jintao flagged off Olympic torch relay -
The World is watching!

Deprived monks forced to take arms
Determined rulers not relenting!!

Where Buddhism is adored
Buddhists are getting assaulted
Myanmar then, Tibet Now!!

When Dalai Lama anguished
Dharamsala trembled!!

Battle at Kalinga changed Ashoka, the Emperor
Given up arms, took up Ahimsa
Propagated Buddhism!

Mao said:
“Just living is not enough... One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.”
Tibetans need all of them!!

Long March Revolutionary said:
“Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.”

Mao’s followers to learn
`Buddham Saranam Gacchami’*
Else,
Tibetans to learn to use the barrel of a gun!!
