Different Feathered Birds?
By Gerard Sarnat
If Western Christianity’s new Reformation
purified Luther’s Protestantism
from past Catholic practice
2 millennia ago, your East’s Awakened One
rose up from some phoenix of god
Shiva + his adored gewgaws.
Sati translates into Study in Pali but our word Suttee,
that it is often confused with, actually
means Widow Burning
which immolation ritual used to take place for old-time
Hindus though nowadays they and Buddhists
mostly give pyres the kybosh.
