There is coming, my friend, as surely as water drops,
a wide eyed breed, a clear eyed brood,
clean as God's winds
with a vision sent of Him,
who will not deride previous generations,
but who will ignore their smoke and ashes,
who will bury their ruck, rubbish and broken idols,
forget their bunk, bunkers and debunkers,
despise their hatreds, intrigues, their politicians,
their chicanery, grafts, greeds, wars, pomps and prides.

These will drink of clean springs of Mind
that this generation knows not of.
They will know clean springs of Mind
from which will come the brotherhood of man,
the world's greatest good, a higher and fuller life,
and a greater love, each man for his brother.

They will discern what is and ever was:
God's creation here, now, ready
for the prodigal to turn again and find it.
They will see Love as the only force
and Man made in His image,
so will they change the world.
