GROWING WHOLE

                   Some hundred years from now, how will this world
                   Appear, assuming no catastrophe?
                   What new potentials will be then unfurled
                   Now in their insubstantial latency?

                   My hope is that we’ll finally realize
                   Collectively the errors of our ways
                   And learn the sapience our name implies
                   By growing wise and ending our malaise.

                   The motivation to amass more wealth
                   While seeking higher status on some scale
                   Will cease when we discover what true health
                   Entails and follow ardently that trail.

                       A Global Wisdom Culture is our goal
                       The only way our species can grow whole.
