Compassion For The Chinese

I read somewhere about the practice of compassion
That those in Tibet
Have for those who inflict pain
And that even grass needs the rain
And I don’t mean to make comparison to a bullet
But it was as though you held the trigger and pull it
As it’s facing me
And I’m shot through but it sets me free
As I collapse on the green floor in the Convent Of Mercy
We can’t wait for things to get worse, we
Must take action now
And cultivate the mindful way
That it’s not in what people say
It’s the silence behind the word
That the monumental is heard
And I took tea with the Lord
And He instructs
I look at the world and it seems fucked
But I rise every day to the light
And I’m willing to stand with my brother in the night
Til the dawn breaks across the land
The earth may be turning to sand
But the soul is beginning to wake
Out of the bodies that it take
To experience the life of the dual
And I may be a fool
But I gotta get back up
Every time that cup
Is slapped out of my hand
If you understand
Follow the path
Coz the demon’s wrath
Is threatening it all
But we can be the architects of the downfall
Of the season of hate
The time is Now, don’t wait
