Manufacturing Defect?

What do you want, at the end of life?

To be born again, till the end of strife.

An enlightened Buddha, liberated and free,

Or a Bodhisattva bonded, to the common human tree?

 

What do you want, in the hustle of life?

To touch a few lives, and for equanimity strive.

A self actualized person, writing poems that are perfect,

Or a transcendent one, that's having in other lives impact?

 

What do you want, at the beginning of life?

Challenges galore, to make you hardened and wise.

A heroic quest, where you can shine and dazzle, 

Or a Sisyphean vow, rolling your rock sans frazzle?

From cradle to the grave, I'll love you to the hilt,

-Despite repeated rejections- 'cause that's the way I'm built!
