Buddha, I Am Busy in a Marketplace

Suresh Raspayle

With millions to earn
And miles to run
Here I am, busy in a market place
Titles to claim
And battles to win
Here I am, confused in a market place
With thousands of faceless people around
And selfishness abound
Here I am, tired in a market place
In a dog-eat-dog world
Where everything is bought and sold
Here I am, lost in a market place
Where have You gone?
Where are You hiding?
Here I am, seeking You in a market place
Oh, my dear Buddha, please bless me
Here, can You help me find You in a marketplace?
