'What is man?'

What is man?

What is man that You are mindful of him?

Listen friend, I will tell you what you are!

You are the one who scorns the poor.

You are Cain who slew his Brother.

You are the devourer of children;

The gleaner of Widows' mites;

The Devil incarnate;

The epitome of evil.

But this is only half of what you are.

You are the one who spoke to the burning bush.

You are the Bright Morning Star,

The lover of men's souls,

The Rose of Sharon.

You are: The Buddha; Muhammad; The Christ.

You are the living Son of the living God.

Awake then form your dream!

Look into the living mirror of your innermost soul,

And there see the true image of the real you,

As God originally created you.

And as you see yourself thus,

you will also see your Brother,

Standing by you, cheek by jowl.

If food, like wisdom

We should buy,

Then all from starvation

Would surely die.

Two million dollars

A loaf, would be

A rather fair analogy.

If the wheat crops failed,

Through burning drought,

There would still be

More wheat then wisdom about.

For, we water and nourish

Our earthly crop.

And we don’t seem to care

That we’re lacking up top.

If we paid more attention

To spirit and soul,

And set our sights

On a cosmic goal,

We’d have food enough

For all to share.

And life would be,

More easy to bear.

For, man lives

Not by bread alone,

There’s protein enough,

On a spiritual bone.
