Erasure poem: Introduction to Buddhism

BY LEROY SLOAN, YEAR 10, HILLMORTON HIGH SCHOOL

Commentary: this poem brings attention to the power that certain people hold in our lives, and what could happen when people in power are aware of it and use it for a good cause. If and when those people "attained enlightenment" and made decisions with "compassion", the world could be reborn in peace or light.
