actually an old poem written way down in 1984


Aquarius



A new dawning age of liberation
will deliver us from every tyranny,
since no one is to order anyone about,
since only common sense will rule us all.
Religions will lose all authority,
and only those of them are able to survive
who are completely free from dogmatism.
Exaggerations and fanaticism shall disappear,
and there will never more be any Martin Luther,
Mahomet, no Marx, no Lenin and no Hitler,
never more a demagogue or autocrat,
and those few monarchies that will survive
shall most of all be just protectors of democracy.
No martyrs shall be needed any more,
self-sacrifice shall be unnecessary,
and only common sense and honour
shall be leader to us all.
Justice shall be the supremest good in life,
and only that shall be the common aim
of all humanity together.
All intolerance shall be prohibited by law,
and those poor few who anyway indulge in it
in foolish arbitrariness, irrationality and folly
and the self-destructiveness that must inevitably follow
shall be pitied, since all destructivity
quite naturally then shall be regarded as an illness.
God shall not be mortal any more as crucified,
and Satan shall be banished to the myths of fairy tales,
and only simple human common sense shall dominate
the world religions and ideals;
and this religion down to earth of common sense
shall not include just all religions
but even every non-religion.

Let's hope that humans will succeed in evolving this much without destroying themselves first!
