Buddhism's Impermanence: Nothing last forever ... not even an ex-king's wish

Ex-king Norodom Sihanouk prays to Lord Buddha, angels, all former Cambodian kings to protect the CPP and its leaders, as well as its eternal victory ... but, ironically, Lord Buddha preached "Impermanence", i.e. "Nothing last forever", as expressed in the following Buddhist poem:

Buddhist poem: Impermanence

Remember this now
to save all the trouble
life is a rainbow
life is a bubble

Everything changes
nothing's the same
first there is sunshine
and then there is rain

First there are smiles
then there are tears
things last for a while
and then disappear

Sad becomes happy
Rain becomes fine
Minutes are hours
so goes the time

Life is not good
but life is not bad
everything happens
both happy and sad

Everything changes
so everyone's free
Don't cling to wishes
Just live now and be

Mary, Joseph, and Jesus are the thing in the past (Vatican zumbie--the pope included).

Is the pope Buddhist or Cathoic? I believe the pope is Buddhist.
