Bodhisattva

We emerge,

children of the sun,

the bright youth

anticipating

each new day;

we make this promise to humanity:

we shall not fail,

for we are stronger

than the warrior,

determined to defeat

whatever darkness

confronts the human spirit,

our hears

shining diamonds

that reflect

the light

of indominable hope;

for we shall not be swayed

by the currents of hatred;

nor shall we drown

in the waves of destruction;

we stand,

our cause

a solid column of stone,

unmoved

by hurricanes,

for if you move the earth,

we will rise from the ground

so as to encounter

our mission,

our passion for life

is the vehicle

that shall end

mankind's suffering.
