Millennium

Millennium

We’ve swung open wide the century gate
But there’s confusing scenery here.
I lift my drowning thought to find millennium.
A world beyond the corporate reach,
Where thoughts are currency.

Invest my savings in the stock of the third millennium.
Where love is powerful currency
The brokerage house is charity
And stock of finest quality is traded hand to hand…

With compassion, intelligence, ingenuity,
Patience and vision- life’s new currency.
Compassion, intelligence, ingenuity,
Patience and vision- life’s security.
Millennium, new vision here,
With “good government,
Great happiness, and prosperity”

When I meet your neighbor I will see her as a friend!
Love will heal the pain in this millennium.
Charity the earth surround and feed each hungering man,
Clarity and hope abound to seed each prospering land…

With compassion, intelligence, ingenuity,
Patience and vision- life’s new currency.
Compassion, intelligence, ingenuity,
Patience and vision- life’s security.
Compassion, intelligence, ingenuity,
Patience and vision- Life’s reality,
Love’s reality…
In Millennium!
