“Messiahs don't drop from the sky,
As mortal suffering jumps the fence.
A messiah is just a mortal,
Minus all the indifference.

Peygambers don't jog down from jennet,
As people are troubled by malice.
A peygamber is just a regular person,
Who has conquered their prejudice.

Buddhas don't grow in a zen garden,
As the world reeks of bigotry.
A buddha is just an ordinary being,
Minus all the self-centricity.”

“Amantes Assemble Sonnet 14

Messiahs don't drop from the sky,
As mortal suffering jumps the fence.
A messiah is just a mortal,
Minus all the indifference.
Peygambers don't jog down from jennet,
As people are troubled by malice.
A peygamber is just a regular person,
Who has conquered their prejudice.
Buddhas don't grow in a zen garden,
As the world reeks of bigotry.
A buddha is just an ordinary being,
Minus all the self-centricity.
Mind is the enemy, mind is the mate.
To all wounds of society mind is ointment.”
