How Sad the Prophets Must Be

How sad the prophets must be
Songs, talks and wars about the mystery
While sitting quietly meditating on the Bodhi Tree
Or walking on the ancient waters of Galilee
And Gabriel finding Mohamed leaving God's messages daily
Prophets all — like spirits in apogee perigee
Circling the earth all ways similar in harmony
If only mankind were able to  see
The ardent  kindness on which they all agree
There would be no us or them no thou or thee
But all would live with the prophets eternally
And the earth would live forever free
Joining together giving to all in need
Forever together in this upcoming century
If only.

If only people could see AS prophets see, they would not go around killing each other or subverting education! Aloha! Rico

so true so much of it is the same just given by prophets from all over the world and eras to different people and places. Hope all is well. Take care.
