Listen to me, Siddhartha !

Keshab Raj Chaulaign 

Before the man died, you were born and thus became Buddha,
If you are born today, you will become a silly man,

In your era,
Peace came from penance, sacrifice and meditation.
Rose in kindness, nonviolence and welfare.

Nowadays,
Peace comes from the a gun bullet
Enjoys the smell of blast
Smiles on violence.

At that time
Humanity was alive and thus you was one,
Now,
You are only idiot, hypocrite and escapist,
Obstacles for progression, anti revolutionary,
On the communist view.
Only a beggar, a fugitive and a mad man,
On the capitalist's view.

Whatever.....
Had you done so in this time
You would beg with your bowl in Gaya for life.
If you would be beheaded
Had done anymore.

There was holiness and thus you were a holy man
Why man died? Being ill? And old?
This kind of your questions,
Solve in a moment now.
Modern science says,
Man died because of AIDS.
No care thus becomes ill,
Hormone passivized to grow old.

Marxism answers,

Death is dialectical materialism,

Diseases – poverty, and,

Age – Exploitation.

Capitalism views:

A natural process,

None of your business!

Then was no any border,

Thus you spread to the world

Now,

Is your, you Tagadhari's, statue worshiped or broken here in Tamsaling?
Only if you were Kirateshwor or Phalgunanda in our Limbuwan.

What if you an Abadhi get jailed in expansionist monastery in Mithila or Tharuhat.

Now we

For peace

In every town and neighborhood,

Among people,

Among castes and creeds,

Are building walls

Of language, religion and culture;

Tracing borderlines,

And building private cabins so that

No one sees no one.

As we achieved this milestone of progress,

Your century long regime may end.

You may get jailed in Kapilbastu

Or

Refugee to Japan, Korea or Burma.
