Born aristocrat
of princely line,
His conscience, and
Divine Call said:
Raise the call inclusive –
All mankind is one,
All religions come
from One Sources.
He lost all:
home, possessions, country,
exiled a prisoner…
for life.
If admitted error,
all would have returned –
He could not
and stay true.
Forty years held,
to last breath,
His word.
From prison wrote:
“…leaves of one tree,
flowers of one garden.”
Some responded and continue,
circling the globe,
ancient enemies, united,
and strangers, friends
all practicing
His words uniting
heart with heart with heart.
“The Earth is but one country
and mankind its citizens.”
