[New-Poetry] World's worst poet

[Suzanne Baran]

"Be your own light, your own authority, your own Buddha. Kill off every
image of the Buddha (idols), see who and what you are in this very moment,
see that there is no Buddha other than THIS MOMENT."

"Who is truly great? I hope you can develop the ability to discern true
human greatness. A great person is someone who forges unity among human
beings through sincere dialogue, armed with a solid philosophy, feet firmly
planted on the ground. A great person is one who lives among the people and
earns their unshakable trust. Fickle popularity and temporary fads are
nothing but illusions."
