EMERSON'S REVOLUTION

When organized religion
declines and self reliance
is realized in a new region
by an all knowing mind
science is finalized
superstition is most legion
to boast of for mankind
each of us has nature's ability
to reach mature responsibility
and power from institutions
knowing in an age and hour
there are only private solutions
in a discovery of wisdom
as a prophecy of freedom
and human understanding
in the wonder of God
who moves and lives
in our being.
