Excerpt
Here is true world democracy in the swift making;
a democracy which socializes all plenty
as that plenty is wrested from scarcity
by world-widening co-operative industry;
a democracy which, scientifically
seeking categorical validity for all the motivations,
taxes only inertia
and awards copiously its individuals
who radiantly expand the commonwealth;
awarding them out of the newly integrated wealth
captured from the unseen fresh fruits
of the limitless environment—
and not by the slightest impoverishment
of commonwealth,
either by mortgage
or individual indebtedness.
Here is God’s purpose—
for God, to me, it seems,
is a verb
not a noun,
proper or improper;
is the articulation
not the art, objective or subjective;
is loving,
not the abstraction “love” commanded or entreated;
is knowledge dynamic,
not legislative code,
not proclamation law,
not academic dogma, nor ecclesiastic canon.
Yes, God is a verb,
the most active,
connoting the vast harmonic
reordering of the universe
from unleashed chaos of energy.
And there is born unheralded
a great natural peace,
not out of exclusive
pseudo-static security
but out of including, refining, dynamic balancing.
Naught is lost.
Only the false and nonexistent are dispelled.
