“What kind of a world are we

going to leave for our children?”
I.
As I landed on the moon,
I gazed with awe,

As I looked on Earth from afar,

Beautiful blue and white marble,
My ancestral home,
My home, sweet, home,
The only one I’ve ever known,

II.
We reject your paradigms,
Your Wall Streets,
Artificially made from greed,
Causing economic terrorism,
To billions world-wide,
You do not care about them,
You never did,

III.
We condemn your wars,
Wars for profits,
Not for Democracy,
Not for righteous ideals,
Not for goodness,
But for evilness,
And Hell,

IX.
We reject your false religions,
Its dogmas,
Its judgments,
Its hypocrisies,
Its laws that are unjust,
We reject your gods,
Money is your only god,

X.
We reject your unjust laws,
Your corrupt penal system,

Your capital punishment,

Putting people to death,
As though you were a god.
You are not,
God cries seeing what you do,

XI.
We reject your philosophies,
Your modern medicine,
Your for profit hospitals,
Your gold hungry doctors,
Who break always,
Their Hippocratic oath,
Not helping the sick,

XII.
This is my world!
We are going to reclaim it,
For our children,
For our decedents,
Yet unborn,
Who are depending on us,
To do the right things,

XIII.
This world belongs to all living creatures,
Humans and animals alike,
Co-habiting a wonderful world,
Turned into a living Hell,
By the super powerful rich,
But not forever,
Welcome the spirit of 2012,

IV.
The Great Spirit of the universe,
Has spoken,

The Council of the Elders,

Have rendered their decisions,
The Seven Powers of the universe,
Are moving towards Earth,
This moment,

V.
The reign of terror,
Upon the Earth,
Is coming to an end,
A Great Cosmic Shift,
Will unfold,
Bringing Peace and Hope,
And Love will triumph…
