The Sisters of Mary

Gently hold your self description

Title, post and seat of honour

They depend of your moral conduct

On the platform of Dharmic life

Good and evil- both are waiting  

for the train, By His grace 

Ticket will depend on your samskara

On the platform of life

     ***

I once knew a girl   named Mary

She was just   like you and me

She had a great  desire

To love and   serve humanity

She searched and searched   for the way

To break mummy’s heart and fly away

A tiny family, was not for her

Worldly lures  she would not obey

     ***

So Mary went ahead and followed call

Sought to learn the Dharma way of life

Went to training centre, sacrificing all

Aspiring for a life and conduct white as snow

The teacher  brought her close under his wing

Reassuring her ‘come close’ her confidence to win

Then touched her,  did not desist, did not renounce

    ***

Shocked and cold   Mary did not stay

She ran away   I don’t know where

Much too hurt to try again

What happened to the teacher, is unknown

All I see is a wall of stone

I thought I heard the sound of dragging feet

Refusing to travel the spiritual bypass, I cry

It all makes me cry for the sisters of Mary
