What is the body
but a temple of G-d,
what is the soul
but an embodiment of hope?

To carry the world
and its hopes and dreams;
to entreaty for peace
in a time of war,
what is a man
but old and weary.

It is more than a meeting of minds
between the young and old,
but a passing of the teachings
to the new generation.

From the static to the dynamic,
the youth will become
the leaders of the world;
and their hopes and faith
will lend credence in time.

Change from within
to change the outside;
it is so gradual as to be 
nigh-invisible.

Three millennia of tradition
is a heavy tide to turn;
although civilizations
rise and fall
upon new ideas.

A new era begins
with the belief of
speaking the Truth,
and living the Truth.

Faith in Truth
brings light
to those who would wrought
false destruction.
