New poem: " "Caught in the Headlights"

 

 Caught in the Headlights

 

The vast empty words of what some people say

was brought home to me the other day when

I listened to a famous Hollywood actor, whose

movies I’ve always enjoyed, talking about the 45th

and 47th President of the United States in a way

that disparaged Donald J. Trump’s character (and

his own); and I could not believe that this respected

Hollywood actor and practicing Buddhist believed

what he was saying, his words were so blindly

devoid of the love, compassion, truth, understanding

forgiveness, and especially the bubbling joy that

his Guru and longtime close friend, His Holiness

the Dalai Lama, was famous for. Caught in the

headlights of this poet’s perspective, this famous

Hollywood woke actor and ersatz Buddhist

had nothing more to say to me.
