WORLD OF TOMORROW, by                    
First Line: In days to come, men will arise with power
Last Line: Fulfillment finds in peaceful brotherhood.
Subject(s): Brotherhood


In days to come, men will arise with power
To dream anew and right the ancient wrongs
That have assailed humanity's past hour
With bitter cries from throats that soon chant songs.
Reborn like phoenix from the ashes' cold,
(False structures razed and purified by fires)
Arise new towers free from greed and gold
As are the builders in their soul-desires.

Ordeal by fate, their hearts redeemed by sorrow,
Clairvoyant sight, a nobler race will live
To claim a nobler world in that tomorrow,
Where Freedom's law will be not get, but give.
Time is no more when Universal Good
Fulfillment finds in peaceful brotherhood.
