Rudra's Song

by Thubten Byang'chub Gonpo

Poisoned by hope, and fear

Hoping to advance what is mine
Fearing the advance of what is yours

In the name of no-self
I shall make my shrine
For the cause of enlightenment
I will tear your's down

The universe shall hear of my great love
As I pile up corpses a galaxy deep

My practice is deep, profound, and righteous.
My self is a diamond. It is lightning.
Abiding a perfect hell without end.

You can't save me
I am too perfect
