The World.

Jesus said: "'The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify against it that its works are evil.'" John 7:7 (NRSV)

And: "'If the world hates you, be aware that it hated me before it hated you.'"  John 15:18 (NRSV)

The world hates the Hippies because we say that the powers of this world are corrupt.

And we work against their interests.

So they triggered hatred and judgement against us.

And reconstructed many.

But the old generation has died.

And a new generation has arisen.

A generation that is politically aware and active.

Together we will challenge the lies and deceptions of the powers.

And return the world to sanity and truth.
