Is This the Kind of 'One World' We Want?

Lynn Hayes of Astrodynamics (http://astrodynamics.blogspot.com/index.html) has mentioned positively a number of times the movie Zeitgeist, which can be viewed in its entirety here:

The first part is very, very interesting from an anthropological/theological/metaphysical point of view, deconstructing the figure of the historical Jesus to trace the story of the Christian saviour back to the sun god myths of far older, earlier civilisations.

The rest of the movie is concerned with deconstructing the events that shook the present age - namely the 9/11 attacks, leading to a broader analysis of the true (economic) masters of our time.

Watch the movie and decide for yourselves.

Just wanted to comment on your poem, as no one else has yet--I found it moving, and a charming mix of old and new poetry styles. Thank you. I too am a Baha'i, as well as a lover of poetry. It seems your blog has drawn the flies to the honey.

All the best in your journey.
