The Buddha

The Buddha, before he was,
set out in sitting to escape the cycle of life and death.
At his birth he shouted- this will indeed be his last birth.
Would you mind being born again?
The Buddhists were very open to wondering
if this truth is the real high truth, even if its not
the Buddha "escaped the cycle of life and death"
Whether or not he quietly traveled
to an infant salmon or koala or President,
he thought hard, prayed hard, and escaped this.
