Modern: O bards, beget your wisdom, tell it pure My appetite for it is wild, wants more What divinations have thee pray to tell With artful voice your message you tell well The truth of other worlds you sweet convey And to the law of Peace you do obey The knowledge of God is yours, the mysteries That transcend both time and history Ancient: O friend of modern age, of your request To beget the knowledge with which I am blessed I open up my arms, welcome you in To honour thee I happy, joyful sing The democracy of knowledge beckons me To share the truth of all I sense and see I hope the truth regales you, feeds thy mind Superior truth is Love, activity refined Modern: O friend, I thank thee for thy correspondence And note your song has Love flow in its cadence We need your wisdom in the modern age A time when lies of shill outnumber sage Nature stands attacked, her knowledge ****** Exactly as the monarchs have cruel planned The trees must speak to impoverished modern ears O tell me all the wisdom of your years Ancient: The trees salute your wisdom, as do I In Nature we may find a superior sky The monarchs? They be but exalted fools You would do well to disobey their rules The true lord is Ganesh, his love is sure That cherub irresistible to adore I tell thee, be devoted to his form And of illusions your vision shall be shorn Modern: When present times be cold and dark as these And trouble be as fathoms deep as seas We could do with the wisdom of Ganesh But from his truth the modern folk digress They seek for glory in material things They see an angel and, ignorant, clip his wings It makes a sage remorseful, these cruel times O friend, write back, with your superior rhymes Ancient: The modern folk, you're right, are led astray By status, wealth, I share that pain, dismay But redemption is a possibility If souls will to think and eyes to see Our bond with universe is there, remains When nourished, God's wisdom rains I end this message with a soft salute May knowledge bless your heart, take root

A dialogue between ancient and modern times
Modern: O bards, beget your wisdom, tell it pure My appetite for it is wild, wants more What divinations have thee pray to tell With artful voice your message you tell well The truth of other worlds you sweet convey And to the law of Peace you do obey The knowledge of God is yours, the mysteries That transcend both time and history Ancient: O friend of modern age, of your request To beget the knowledge with which I am blessed I open up my arms, welcome you in To honour thee I happy, joyful sing The democracy of knowledge beckons me To share the truth of all I sense and see I hope the truth regales you, feeds thy mind Superior truth is Love, activity refined Modern: O friend, I thank thee for thy correspondence And note your song has Love flow in its cadence We need your wisdom in the modern age A time when lies of shill outnumber sage Nature stands attacked, her knowledge ****** Exactly as the monarchs have cruel planned The trees must speak to impoverished modern ears O tell me all the wisdom of your years Ancient: The trees salute your wisdom, as do I In Nature we may find a superior sky The monarchs? They be but exalted fools You would do well to disobey their rules The true lord is Ganesh, his love is sure That cherub irresistible to adore I tell thee, be devoted to his form And of illusions your vision shall be shorn Modern: When present times be cold and dark as these And trouble be as fathoms deep as seas We could do with the wisdom of Ganesh But from his truth the modern folk digress They seek for glory in material things They see an angel and, ignorant, clip his wings It makes a sage remorseful, these cruel times O friend, write back, with your superior rhymes Ancient: The modern folk, you're right, are led astray By status, wealth, I share that pain, dismay But redemption is a possibility If souls will to think and eyes to see Our bond with universe is there, remains When nourished, God's wisdom rains I end this message with a soft salute May knowledge bless your heart, take root
