TOWARD WISDOM

                    What is the next step in mankind’s advance
                    To raise our consciousness and grow more sane?
                    What higher qualities may best enhance
                    The chances we’ll evolve to be humane?

                    The fate of the whole Earth depends upon
                    Our realizing our full sapience,
                    Growing to be our planet’s paragon
                    So a new Golden Era may commence:

                    A Global Wisdom Culture will instill
                    Those principles and practices that lead
                    Us surely toward an era of good will,
                    For only such a mindset can succeed.

                        Not only heads but hearts must be transformed;
                        Minds must be clarified and cockles warmed.
