When the ears are free from the deafening sound of falsehood

When the eyes are clear from the blinding screen of smoke

When the limpid spring of wisdom no longer loses its way

into the desert sand of human folly

When the world is no longer

fragmented by

the blindness ofgreed

When blood of the innocent

and tears of the weak

I see no more

When the heart is in tune

with the chords of the benevolent pulse

When the soul is led forward by pristine light

over the widening horizon

into that Heaven of Freedom

My beloved country Earth

May you awake --- to that eternalCall beyond Space and Time!
