LISTEN!

I beckon The Hearing a moment to be heard for I need to speak

I need not seek attention for the Light meets me where I am.

I am naked before the Throne, my privacy is invaded, I have no word to hide.

Why should the destiny of the world I belong to be decided without me?

And I've been here all this time living every moment of it;

Grumbling and praising, falling and rising, failing and succeeding

I gave my life to be here so I can say this:

Let the philosopher assume the rulership

Let the prophet know the times in which he lives so he can exhort the people

Let the healer touch with the heart bent on healing

Unleash the teacher's passion in his art of teaching

Let rains fall on the crops on the tilled soils so the harvest shall be bounty

Let the overlord take stock of the lands the King apportioned him

When the queen talks, let her words be allowed into the discerning ear.

Close the law books and open the first chapter of Love

Mount edifices so magnificent for repository of wisdom.

Keep the pilgrim's paths pliable with speed and in safety

From the seashores through the lands to the stargates in the skies.

Harness all resources like worshipping a deity for indeed so they are.

Let Man know his sojourn in this plane ends to begin anew.

 And build the ladder on which we shall ascend into the higher dimensions.

In the politics of men let the philosopher be king

Let the warrior be the sentinel, to keep watch over the kingdom

Kindly say to the server his service abounds for much

Pay well the scholar to scribe the records

Hark! the exhortations of the priests as they sing, lament and preach

When the artisan is at work, grant him no disturbance

And please listen when the sage interjects you even rudely.

Set the server free from bondage so he can serve with inspiration;

Commend artisans to design creation instead of artifices.

In their expressions, let the priest move away from zeal and toward compassion;

Sages must not be lost in their gift of jab and orate but speak spiritedly.

Scholars shall neutrally assimilate knowledge to prove all theory.

In their actions warriors must apply persuasion rather than coercion;

And kings shall rule with mastery but not in tyranny.
