Buddhist mindfulness tastes like vinegar

Buddhist mindfulness tastes like vinegar
and while may be good for you
Mindlessness Bhakti tastes like Sherry
and is sweet with far more vigor
If they were truly mindful,
They would write instead of a book
Just an article.
All that they have to say is in the first chapter any ways.
A real master can transfer power directly
If you want to see light
Why go into a black hole?
If they can’t sit still
Maybe they should be electrocuted
They have the discipline but not the bait
Who knows how long they have to wait
In SatGuru Bhakti you are hit with a bolt
Of lightning
Even so vinegar is sweeter than sugar.
Buddha should be punished for leaving such a tradition
Shams, Rumi, Hafez, Attar, Nanak, Kabir, Tuka, are my preference,
While giving Buddha only reverence,
The monastics just sit in prison
Something I don’t envision
Mystics have more poetic lustre
Without a filibuster
Mindfulness practitioners lack real heat
And some if them still eat meat.
They can not even claim the kundalini.
Which is another kind of genie.
To not have a guru
Is smart thinking
If you want broad appeal
But it could just be for your ego ideal
And won’t lead to the real.
For that you must kneel.
