THE KHMER PEOPLE
Jayavaraman vii
With the spirit of compassion
Said."The suffering of the people
is my own suffering, "When one views
His meditating face, its incarnation
Of will and emotion, one almost sees
Tears welling up from deep suffering
As he pities his people. as he weeps lost lands and rice fields
(With the timber cut down, totally
Lost to Khmer people, on each hillock wand island)
He pities the daughter far from her parents.
Transformed falling into the depths of hell.
