All Those Who Claim (poem) 


All Those Who Claim

They have it wrong,
all those who claim to
have the ultimate answers,
who draw up a litany of rules
and say, “Follow these
and you will be spared
at the final hour.”

If you want to talk
about enlightenment,
don’t listen to those solemn
hierarchs in robes
or those who
drone behind altars.
Seek out the wise ones
in the mountains,
the hermits who live
beside the waterfalls,
the woman who is dancing
in candlelight
as she rocks her babe
to sleep in her arms.
