The Great Discovery Poem by Richard (Narad) Eggenberger

The Great Discovery

What profit if we someday reach the stars,
Or having learned to navigate the moon
Set sail to see if there was life on Mars?
We rape, we kill and ever we repugn
The spirit's call, its plea to seek within.
Explorers of the ultimate frontier,
Abjure this life of ignorance and sin,
By inner growth draw the heavens near.
The world is breaking up, a new design
Of harmony oppresses with its light
The ‘isms' of the past - we must resign
From death and evil working, reunite
The waylost soul with God's infinity;
For therein lies the great discovery.
