can you imagine Buddha, Christ, Moses & Muhammad brought together on this pallid earth?
what would Christ, Moses, Muhammad & Buddha say
to the endless throngs
of starving poor & their begging
families?
what would Moses, Muhammad, Buddha & Christ offer to
fallen hearts unable even to dream
of hope?
what would Muhammad, Buddha, Christ & Moses do for the parched
animals trembling in over-heated
dust?
how would Buddha, Christ, Moses & Muhammad care for a planet wounded beyond recovery?
how would Christ, Moses, Muhammad & Buddha act to
resurrect the teeming souls
drown by greed?
& whence this fellowship of saints
if this world should end?
there are countless heavens
& billions & billions of suns.
