FERRY TO NIRVANA
I will do anything you say
to make you happy
in this threatened world:
Help save rain forest
in the Amazon
preserve the precious oxygen
for all to breathe.
Prove my devotion to
seals and whales and porpoises
equip a fleet of zodiacs
for staunch environmentalists.
I'll work to help you reach your goal
Compassion for all
suffering beings -
And when your life
of meritorious acts is done,
I'll put you on a
ferry to Nirvana
and wonder will you miss the struggle
on the yonder shore?
