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.
