James Coburn

Folder: 
Buddhist

Because James Coburn

was a Buddhist

he was never

a fast foodist..

The gentle man

donned villains' robes

and made people cry

but in reality he

would not harm

a human bird or fly

What about plant rights? Are they beneath Buddhist dignity? Should I feel guilty about my next bowl of porridge?

I'm curious, what rights do insects have?
