“Chiquita Planeta en la Pradera
(Himno de la Nueva Tierra)
La Nueva Tierra es un arte de amor,
no una mancha de odiosa ignorancia.
La Nueva Tierra es una tierra prometedora,
no de avaricia e indiferencia.
Nueva Tierra es un lienzo en blanco,
tenemos que decidir qué pintaremos -
obra maestra de un amanecer inclusivo,
o un recordatorio sangriento
de los días de los simios.
La Nueva Tierra es una Tierra mejor,
ya no tenemos sed de sangre.
Luchamos juntos sin dividirnos,
para ser una chispa divina de amor amable.
Hijab, hábito, turbante, todos son iguales,
Es intolerancia lo que es inaceptable.
En nuestra Nueva Tierra el carácter es supremo,
las tradiciones primitivas son prescindibles.
La existencia aquí es un arte del amor,
en nuestro planeta en la pradera cósmica.
La Nueva Tierra es una celebración de la vida,
no una validación de una rigidez ruinosa.”
