CIVILIZATION

Periods of barbarism alternate

With periods of civilization,

And while the former are endemic

To the particle aspect of the atom,

Whether as protons, neutrons, electrons,

Or a bureaucratic combination of all three,

The latter are endemic to its wavicle aspect,

Whether with regard to the Church (in each of

its elemental manifestations), or to the Centre.

Thus whereas the barbarous Kingdom preceded

The civilized Church, so the latter

Has been superseded by the barbarous State,

As representative of electron particles.

If civilization is to reappear, then the particle State

Must be superseded by the wavicle Centre,

And the age of the Second Coming

Replace that of the Antichrist.

Proletarian materialism should lead

To transcendental spirituality,

And thus to the rebirth of civilization

On the highest electron terms.
