When rage is our reason, truth’s vilified

Hence to stage treason, proof will abide

Commission: hurt foes, scapegoating pain

Permission: dirt those, hate-loading blame


When sage is seasoned, truth’s ratified

Zen aged allegiance, disputes satisfied

Vision: shake beliefs, creating similarities

Mission: make peace, mating disparities


When rage bluffs cowardly, chesting fear’s bully

Engage love powerfully; its blessing clears, fully

Our tough partners truth, conferring fate’s answer For love charts our route, curing hate’s cancer
