What good is Zen if it won’t help my dying friend?
What good is Zen if it can’t stop an oil spill into the Gulf
of Mexico?
What good is Zen is I’m shot down in Afghanistan?
What good is Zen if I’m broke and living on orange peels?
What good is Zen in the windows of an abandoned house?
What good is Zen is all it means is a pebble on the beach?
What good is Zen if you imagine you’ve done nothing wrong?
