(p. 51)
"Not knowing just yet
What all this had meant,
It was plain, though,
That THREE planes were no accident."

(pgs.109 & 112)
So, children of Merucia,
I beg and I plead,
Sit up now, and listen,
Learn, and take heed!

You must learn from your actions,
Both present and past,
And be vigilant and peaceful,
So Merucia will last.

So, children of Merucia,
Please understand:
The future of your country
Lies in YOUR hands.
