Let the masters decree in the third degree
We may live with a portion of peace
So all people may see...and albeit agree
That aggression must finally cease

With a peacetime enduring we shall be insuring
A future both caring and deep
And in beauty procuring sweet passion's alluring
To lift us inspired from our sleep

May walking in stride with Jesus give pride
That heals with knowing and faith
With such kindness inside everyone can abide
To the conscience that brings us to grace

Shall we wish to enjoy with nary a ploy
The enrichment of land, seas and souls
Ner again to deploy revenge as a toy
To entangle our love with false goals

So as One with our hearts we could move from Decartes
And take science to where it may florish
We shall all play our parts without help from Sartre's
And find meaning in all that we nourish

So if thinking be good, seems t'me that it could
Let's agree then we've outgrown this box
For it's well understood that we can and we should
Graduate from this school of hard knocks
