Come to the front

Tolerance, good temper and sympathy
        are no longer enough in a world where ignorance rules,
and Science, which ought to have ruled, plays the pimp.

Tolerance, good temper and sympathy —
        they are what matter really,
                and if the human race is not to collapse
                        they must come to the front before long.
