Be instrumental in
Saving others if they don’t
Have the power
To save themselves.

Will guide and change
Into one white color
The myriad colors of
All isms and ideologies.

詮ずれば 経と縦との争ひに 日を消す凡夫の如何に多きも

301   There just seem to be
So many ordinary people
Who pass the time
Involved in the conflict
Between horizontal and vertical.

アメリカを 救う尊き神の杭 いよよ打たれぬ羅府の都に

That will save America
Will soon be driven
Into the metropolis of

Will descend to the land
Of America. Finally
The divine light
Will begin to shine.

305   When the light of the Messiah
Shines brightly abroad,
The people of the origin
Of the sun
Will certainly be in a stir.

For the advent
Which the followers of

For patiently.

黴菌の 研究のみに耽りゐる 小さき学者の眼開かん
307Scientists only
Pursue germs to
Even more infinitesimal levels
And still their little eyes
Do not open.

恋愛さへ 解決されぬ科学もて など救はれん人の悩みを
308How can science
Eliminate the sufferings
Of human beings
When it cannot even
Solve the mystery of love.
