<p class="Style">I whisper<br/>that this Khan was a whisker in the beard</p>
<p class="Style">of The<br/>Prophet, God bless his memory.</p>
<p class="Style">Khan copied<br/>The Prophet's life of Non-Violence</p>
<p class="Style">which The<br/>Prophet lived fourteen hundred years ago.</p>
<p class="Style">Khan saw in cold-stone, Ka'aba-terms that</p>
<p class="Style">all places shine in Mecca's crack of brilliance<br/>and</p>
<p class="Style">The Call-to-Prayer's source hides in echoes</p>
<p class="Style">repeated like a tear of cloth in the simple<br/>phrase:</p>
<p class="Style">"God is the all merciful and the all<br/>compassionate."</p>
<p class="Style">The violent erect governments hidden in States</p>
<p class="Style">while wearing the clothes of belief which hides<br/>true intent.</p>
<p class="Style">Doers of love do not say. They do! Do not let<br/>those who say,</p>
<p class="Style">kill in hate. Become doers and not lying slayers.</p>
<p class="Style">Submit to doing love for the rest of your<br/>Non-Violent life. </p>
