The Ninth Incarnation PART2Lord Buddha

One day He saw a "Sick man"

Groaning in miseryand in pain

His eyes grew moist,his heart sank

His mind just went blank

The sight disturbed him so much

But no helpfor him he could fetch.

Afew days later he saw "an old man"

He couldn't believe that all human beings grow old

He couldn't digest the "truth" the guard told

Then he saw the sight that "troubled" him the most

It sent him a shiver in the spineand fear

He did not want to any further see or hear

He returned back to the palace

Shaken up ,no one was there to offer him 

 solace

For days together he began to brood

To enjoy any kind of pleasure "he was in no mood"

His mind was confused and his heart was in pain

He had "sleepless nights"and his energy began to drain

He decided to" give up his princely life"

To leave his parents,child and wife

No one knew the "misery"he was in

He was completely "shattered" from within

At the dead of the night,he left them all

To "heed to the Inner Call"

To find "Solutions"toall the misery he had seen

His "purpose"was clear and sincere

To find the "answers" he was focused and keen.
