I wonder if anyone in the royal council
reminded the King of the grand fortune
that his majestic loins yielded a man
able to choose between Imperial Reigning
and Enlightenment.

How many fathers have had to, instead,
surrender their sons to war, poverty or disease?

And without the cushy-comfort of an encircling
group of ministers clad in priestly robes.

Perspective is everything. This dilemma,
Your Majesty, is called win-win.

It is a celestial credit to the care and love
with which you raised way-showing Siddhartha.

Yes, seekers-of-enlightenment turn many lives upside down when they stagger off in search of that elusive beast. (I just had a vision of Monty Python’s quest for the Holy Grail! :-)) Thanks for your comment, Amna.

If/when you feel moved to, I’d love to hear one of your poems here! :-)

I always wondered about the womenfolk and children left behind in these leaving-to-seek-enlightenment situations. It never occurred to me to think about the implications for the larger society/kingdom, but of course the departure has effects beyond just the family. Thank you for providing this vantage point.
