Coyote Buddha

Coyote Buddha

world becomes very serious

many suffer from shooting own foot.

depression number one people disease

followed by addiction to depression drugs.

planet toxic for 1 million species

even rocks feel effects of pollution.

many say end of world is near

build spaceship to escape apocalypse. 

cities full of confused souls 

search for meaning on every TV channel.

earthquakes shake ocean floor

tsunamis crash into coastal villages.

tornadoes worm across landscape

trees land 200 miles away from roots.

frogs and bees check into hospital

rhinoceros dies from lack of horn.

gangs roam streets

gun in every pocket.

only one hope for planet earth -

Coyote Buddha! 

eats bones in bed

laughs in church

talks to clouds

dances in street

feeds cats and dogs

flies with birds

swings in trees

hangs like bat

waves at flying saucers

flows like water

sheds skin like snake

100% alive this moment.

Coyote Buddha saves planet

helps all beings

steals everybody’s lunch

disappears into River of Stars....
