For All Humanity Is Where I Stood
Yes, it has been a long entrance, I have observed, but in this manner
of communication I have never reserved, though I have not, this does
not mean
that a word I have
not got. But then it is not simple this english of yours. It had been ages
of physical time for me, and my physical time was spent across the
sea. Way across
the sea, upon a land that used to be. Though now part does exist, but only
because the physical people insist. I am well remembered, I view
this as much as Confucius,
the master. But before the plaster came, I formed from a mountain high, a teacher
not a judge, a preacher without a grudge. For all humanity is where I stood.
For humanity I did what I could. But I have been here in this promised land,
long enough to know how to use this hand (Zaher’s hand was raised). And
yes I too have shared my art, though without a name I came and I depart.
My name I give, though it is not slanted, but permission first granted. And
I must not say what I must not, for that will end my speech quickly, and that
will
hurt this soul. Most definitely true, I am one who eternally worked for you
and with you, next to you but never against you. For what you do is a memory
of my
name “BUDDHA”
Strange land but I have viewed land that has been more crude. It is a privilege
to be in your honored presence. And for me to be joined in this deliverance with
you. Thank you for what you do and what you are about to do. After all you were
watching when it was my turn to come through. (Addressing Costa) And now that
I am here from this view, I should tell you that there is nothing that you cannot
do. O Yes, you were watching when it was my turn. But in me, the fever, it did
not strongly burn as much as I tried. I was quickly denied, but there are few
who have learned from me what you are about to do and they will help, once they
hear of what you have. It will not take long. They will not laugh, the word will
spread like the sheet upon the bed, for the bed was made for you to lay and you
cannot escape your day.
