HOMO SAPIENS SAPIENS SAPIENS

                 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.
