Nessun'altra forma d'arte comunica la veduta personale di L. Ron Hubbard sul mondo come lo fanno le sue poesie e le sue parole, avendo egli scritto versi nel corso di tutta la sua vita. Nella sua gioventù e negli anni newyorkesi come durante i suoi viaggi in mare la sua ricerca si è innalzata verso più elevati stati spirituali. Mediante l’opera Dichiarazione di Pace, L. Ron Hubbard ha gridato al mondo intero il suo appello per un sogno di Pace su questo pianeta e mediante il progetto Città Internazionale - da creare nel Nord Africa - ha offerto una visione della Pace tra le nazioni. La Fondazione degli Amici di Ron, sulla scorta di quanto L. Ron Hubbard ha desiderato e fatto in vita per gli scrittori e poeti in erba, ha istituito il “Premio Poetico degli Amici di Ron”, capace di avvicinare e dialogare con centinaia di poeti di tutto il mondo, alimentando le ispirazioni di spiriti liberi.
