Prayer-Demand asking God to be the President of the United
States of the World. |
Our Father, President of the United States of planets, galaxies,
worlds, universes, Thy democratic rule of self-evolution and free-choice
is bringing Thy citizen-children nearer and nearer unto Thine ideals.
Born in Thy states of freedom of will, we received our celestial
birthright of eternal, everlasting freedom. But, alas! we imprisoned
and enslaved our omnipresence behind the bars of sense-enjoyment,
evil, selfishness, and hide-bound, narrow-eyed patriotism.
Teach us, Father, to melt with the warmth of our love and understanding,
the fancy-frozen boundaries of family, society and nationality.
Bless us, O all-wise Father, that we may live in the United States
of the World, with Thee as our President, perennially elected by
the free choice of all the good citizens of our hearts, ruling ourselves
through our own self-determining discrimination.
Teach us to enrich our souls, our opulence, and our understanding,
by broadening the circle of our patriotic love, including in it
all earth's inhabitants, irrespective of caste, class, creed or
color.
O Cosmic President, bless us that we may obey Thy laws of life;
and respect, with kindness, the freedom of all Thy free-born children-citizens:
not only the good, and the error-intoxicated men, but also the mammals,
birds and beasts, frail flowers, mute grasses and jungle weeds,
crushed low under the tread of our cruel, unheeding feet.
