OUR ANCESTORS’ BOOK
All these divisions when would it end?
The whole humanity divided into 2
People of the book and people of no book
Those called black people and those called white
Those with religion and those without
Chosen people and those not chosen
People of the book will point to their book
Swear by it to be from their God
Rules and laws and way to live
Set in stone in words that live
People of the book, believe in their book
They rank it higher than any other book
When touched by a book, one lives by the book
People of the book, are touched by their book
And live by their book, not any other book
People with no book, do have their own book
For every human has own special book
Generations past, present, to come
Are moved by the awesomeness of what they experience
Some name it God, others name it LOVE
Some name it NOTHING, others name, SUPREME
Many relate in own special ways
Experience may not be written, in book form of now
Or set in stone or in words which live
Encounters are different and expressed in different ways
But what’s in this book of people of no book?
Their very own persons, palm prints and skin
The land on which they stand, or sit or lie
Mountains, valleys, hills, rivers and streams
The sky on which they gaze in awe and wonder
The waters of the earth, the spirit in all things
The sun, moon and stars and trees and air
The humans whom they meet and read to know
Seasons and change, wind and rain
Uninhibited, unrestricted, no censorship here
Flexible the spirit which reads as moved
All books written and all books unwritten
Are ancestors of all future books
United as one they educate human mind
Built from seen and unseen to build
The books which teach humans to always LOVE are united in LOVE
And enrich both ‘people of the book’ and ‘people of no book’; those called ‘black’ and those called ‘white’; those with ‘religion’ and those ‘without’; those termed ‘chosen’ and those termed ‘not chosen’
Their simple message is:“Be flexible, rigidity destroys
Open your mind to learn more and more, LOVE others, accept LOVE given. Peace is good, walk towards PEACE
