Spiritual Seniority

a camel an ox and ram
walked along a path
to where they saw
a tuft of barley grass
that all desired

"If we divide this", said the ram
"None shall be satisfied, therefore
Let us do as Muhammad said
And give to the eldest
In honor of his superior wisdom.

None do honor their elders today
Without some other motive.
The young invite them to taste first
Only when they fear the food too hot

They invite them to cross the bridge ahead
Only when they spy danger
And no one bows to a teacher these days
Without some trick in mind.
Let each declare his age
And settle this matter.

I know not my exact years
But pastured once with that same ram
Which Abraham sacrificed for Issac

The ox spoke up. "I can better that for I was yoked
to Adam's plow when he left Paradise.

The camel listened silently , then smiled.
And reaching his long neck down, took the grass
and held it above their heads to eat.
"I know not much of this my dears
Except that I am taller
And if you bring me Shushan
For all your sakes, I will ball her.
