What Is The Effect?

I met men and women from all about the planet
the truth we spoke and
sang of the unity that we share
we knew in our hearts
was in our hands as they joined
the smiles we had reflected the love of the one God we all honor
the tears of joy  the emotions soared
the fear of the future vanished with the vision of the founder
we came to celebrate the unity of mankind
and to focus our efforts on sharing the glad tidings of our loving creator
The diversity of our spinning globe
conversed in a single voice
reflected around the world by satellite
the candles united to form a spiritual beacon
calling to the distant lands
illuminating the dark corners with hope and honor
Invested with a duty 
never to be the same
look here, look here
thousands upon thousands
all different in shape and size, color and form
a rainbow of humanity
in an arc about a single point
the center of their attention
is to focus yours upon the Blessed Beauty
which delivered today's message for mankind from the God Almighty
A spiritual reaction set ablaze the atmosphere
breathe in the new air
fill your spirits to their capacity
exhale your prejudice and hate
clothe yourself in the robe of obedience
to shield your soul from the winds of change
our shelter is the canopy of oneness
drink from the refreshing waters of justice
eat the fruits of the tree of servitude
My eyes may be blinded but my soul soared in the sky of unity
awing with the birds of song that make the planets rotate
basking in the light of truth
gliding on the uplift of trust
encircled in the hoop of life
dancing to the song of diversity

What Is The Effect?
a dedication, repentance, atonement, renewal
