19. IN THE EYES OF THE SAVIOURS

In the eyes of the Saviour Christ,
The world was an ignorance-night.

In the eyes of the Saviour Krishna,
The world was an ignorance-sea.

In the eyes of the Saviour Buddha,
The world was an ignorance-sky.

      O ignorance-night,
      Your futility hurts me.

      O ignorance-sea,
      Your insensibility hurts me.

      O ignorance-sky,
      Your indifference hurts me.
