There is an evolutionary arc
It is a spiritual arc
As well as a physical one
This arc requires that we grow
Spiritually
Not just physically
If we do not grow
In a spiritual way
We will physically die out
Among other things
That we put an end to war
The evolutionary arc
Cannot continue
If war is not transcended
Our very survival
Demands the establishment
Of peace in our world
This is not a religious belief
This is a fact of nature
This is a fact of life
Those who believe
That war is inevitable
Ignore the process of nature
Those who believe
That peace is impossible
Ignore the facts of life
It is time to evolve
Physically and spiritually
Beyond where we are today
It is time to follow
A path of survival
That leads to our future
It is time to move forward
And continue
The upward evolutionary arc
