about

Inspired by verse 5:18 of the Bhagavad gita

vidya-vinaya-sampanne
brahmane gavi hastini
suni caiva sva-pake ca
panditah sama-darsinah

The truly learned, with eyes of divine knowledge, see with equal vision a Brahmin, a cow, an elephant, a dog, and an out-caste.

lyrics

[Spoken]
I like to think of enlightenment ABC as the seeing of all living beings, species regardless, as brothers and sisters. In spite of our many advancements and our obsession with political correctness wonder if the human race is actually heading in that direction? What do you think?

[Verse 1]
Racism reject
People see equal
Yet animals exclude
Preach they have no soul

[Verse 2]
Sexism outlaw
Chauvinism scorn
But unborn child ignored
Right to life denied

[Chorus]
Think ourselves advanced
Of the human race
Pinnacle is today
Technological-smart
Polished animal proud
Proclaim this age of enlightenment

[Verse 3]
Secular embrace
Religious war defeat
Yet global family
Is ever out of reach

[Repeat Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Gender up to you
Pronoun choice respect
Still equal rights refuse
God approves reject

[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
Classism despise
Ageism dismiss
Still body 'dentify I
Afterlife deny

[Repeat Chorus x3]
