AKELDAMA (SHORT STORY)
Gautama Buddha stood near the dead-body of Judas Iscariot. Hot blood was still gushing out from his broken skull. The potter’s field remained as a red painting made of blood and his bowels gushed out looked like mating pythons.
‘One-day, this place will be known as ‘the field of blood’; Gautama told himself and sank into deep meditation. When he opened his eyes, Jesus was sitting beside him with tears...
‘Why do you cry?’
‘Sacrifice recognizes sacrifice…’
Gautama smiled and that smile got transferred to Jesus also, for true smile is made of sacrifice!

O Great! Gautama & Jesus are true Comrades..............! Gautama found nirvana and judas betrayed Jesus. We still crawl on this fruitless Earth? My humble regards to your kind dedication! You're not only a bard and a good painter too.

A very wise saying which you express with just the right length of line Prem. The message sinks in as the mind understands the need for tears. An admirable verse.
