At the next stage of our humanity,
We’ll have transcended the insanity
Of war and other senseless violence
That saner, wiser reckoning prevents,
Adding another sapience to our name,
Absolving us at last of ancient blame
While ushering in an era of accord
That we for eons have been yearning toward.
What then? Perhaps when we at last have shown
Such amity, we’ll find we’re not alone
And those elsewhere who see how we’ve grown wise
Will visit us in peace to be allies
In furthering our quest to understand
The scope of what the cosmic Source has planned.
