"An epic poem touching on issues of racism, intolerance, and environmental destructions from Booker Prize-winning author Ben Okri. There is much to celebrate in the human journey so far--art in all its forms, advances made in the fields of technology and medicine and, for many of us, the miracle of freedom.

This epic poem, an anthem for the twenty-first century, first appeared in The Times in January 1999. Its message could hardly be more relevant to our present condition.
