There is no
race
there is peace
in time we see
harmony
the race that you
know
is a sham
breed
to lie
too invite
anger
to shed
blood
over colors
yet their are no
colors
and nature
intended
us all
as one
and two
be true to the truth
of life
though
your eyes
i gain
strength
and the forefather lies

Shams was laughing when he composed
Mevlana was turning and dancing
one laughs external, one internal
All speaking the same language
passing out Pearl Knowledge to
the rest of the vast ocean
reminding us that we can only
bear a jug full, a small glass
so we shouldn't rush
don't bet on the horse-race
just take one day at a time
don't borrow from tomorrow
take in only what is in
our capacity to handle
please no overdosing
on drugs
on sugar
on caffeine
on life
enjoy the smorgasbord but
only fill your plate
