An ancient wandering people
the source in antiquity of
the world's spiritual devotion
whose revelations and prophets
alerted humanity to its destiny
to strive to become as one
with the angels, to look upon
others as brothers and sisters
offering kindness and humility
to grasp their better natures
as they were themselves taught
to become a light unto others
even as bereft of their heritage
of the land that begot them.
Exiled, they wander and settle
over the vast ages of humanity
their presence tolerated until it no
longer is recognized for the value
they bring in human endeavour
then once again exiled, reviled and
rejected. Their ancient message
resonates among the vast hordes
whose piety toward the Spirit of
the God of Abraham fails to
encompass the people whose
message bore them to the faith.
