Men, wise and foolish, who look for hope
\nWith mankind they despise
\nPray to Gods and spirits unknown
\nThe dwell above in the skies…<\/p>\n

Be not like them, both wise and fools
\nAll thats in the skies is stars and clouds
\nThe answers as well as problems sources are
\nFellow man alone and in crowds…<\/p>\n

We know not if Gods exist
\nWe know each are each others brother
\nLook not to the heavens for hope
\nHave faith in one another!<\/p>\n
