Spiritual Tourists


They come to India seeking the exotic
     but forgetting the commonplace.

They come to this land lusting for
     revelations only to discover heaven
     varies little from place to place.

Searching for the unattainable
     sometimes they find
     what should not be attained.

India is a garbage dump
which brings the world before your eyes -
     jewels of wisdom with crass deceptions!
     beauty making you thankful to live
     among suffering in every guise.
