IONS FOR THE EONS

        Jean Houston and the whole Noetic club
        Predict a turning in Earth’s history,
        Revolving round a hidden mystic hub
        Revealing soon a cosmic mystery:

        We humans are about to come of age,
        Leaving behind our infancy of pain,
        Outgrowing our wild adolescent stage
        Of acting out—becoming finally sane.

        With Barbara Marx Hubbard serving as
        The matriarch divining this event,
        Seeing as clearly as any prophet has
        The outcome of Earth’s long experiment,

             We’ll finally begin to realize
             The wondrous benefits of growing wise.
