The Prophets Cry

the prophets cry
“listen to the Voice”
yet most are content to only hear
their own chatter

the prophets cry
“follow none but the One”
yet most are more enchanted with the messenger
than the message

the prophets cry
“you are just like me”
yet most go on
building shrines and signposts

the prophets cry
“love one another”
yet most go on
building boundaries and walls

the prophets cry
they cry for us
the ones who have not
listened

can you listen?
