Of poets and prophets


People of the book
understand the heart
of that anthology
Where you can 
read that Yeshua
is the friend 
of Muhammed And 
both know Avraham, 
offspring of Seth, 
as their father
An Egyptian prince 
tried to save 
a vane and 
in stone chiselled 
nation That message 
was so much 
later rewritten by 
a self-proclaimed priest
But alas he 
just passed on 
his own Babylonian 
confusion to us
Marriages were dissolved 
by that human law, 
not acknowledged as 
from the nation
Not by God 
of course, He 
never casts out
children or lovers
Rumi knows that
the Merciful binds, 
rebbe Yeshua will 
not judge us 
and the Prophet 
knows your name
Not guiltless animals 
in a sacrificial fire, 
not coins for 
the Sanhedrin or 
pointed minarets Buy 
off our sins 
or are the wages 
that are asked 
of you, not, 
not Nothing He 
wishes but respect 
towards his creation, 
love for that 
what He loves
Our common path 
to the Almighty 
will not be 
achieved by excluding
Not by hate, 
but by embracing 
you get nearer 
to the Beloved
Learn, learning to 
open up and 
be accessible and 
understanding as a 
loving parent for 
the toughest child
And I miss 
my two fathers 
much and all 
my friends that 
passed away, the 
poets and prophets
