BUDDHA WAS A HINDU

Buddha was a Hindu.
Jesus was a Jew.
Getting caged in labels blocks
the God in me and you.

THREE CROWNS

The crowns actors wear
in the theatre are often
cardboard with glued
on rhinestones..

Kings and queens
have a hold
on crown jewels
quite ephemeral

The aura creates
a crown
whose light
is eternal

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Some of the jewels
in the crown jewels
were taken from their
owners in India

Ms Ruggles writing
of Edwin Booth spoke
of his pasteboard crowns

This is dedicated to
S A G who was King Charles and Edwin Booth
before becoming a saint
