\nCreated by hubris, will to power and greed,
\nAnd democratic nations gladly exchange
\nTheir heads for populists who always mislead
\nAnd literalists dictate religious life,
\nPaving the way for ruthless false messiahs,
\nIt seems we’ve condemned ourselves to endless strife
\nWhile feeling we could check our base desires.
\nFor deep inside we know we’re free to choose
\n‘Tween potential kingdom on earth of Heaven or Hell,<\/span>
\nThat all of us would gain if none would lose:
\nNever were stakes so high since the angels fell.
\n++<\/span>When the sum of a part is greater than that of the whole,
\n++<\/span>The time has come to summon Gandhi’s soul.<\/p>\n
