Strobilus Mountain Ghost

Reborn as the Strobilus Mountain ghost,
I watch over vast world of human souls
with emerald eyes of Mithras in my brain,
commissioned by Anahita to guard
Garothman House of Song in paradise
where lovers dance among lush apple trees.

When I cross Chinvat Bridge of the Requiter,
my path widens in gold-paved road of faith
where I pick apples from the Tree of Knowledge
as Anahita guides my way to Heaven
while tyrants in towers of steel and glass
battle each other to control the Earth.

Though I wander lost on the signless road
across the endless waste land of desire,
Ahura Mazda arrives on winged horse
and gives me Truth Wand of Asha Vahishta
with mission to lead army of the people
in holy war against tyrants of greed.

Fallen to my knees in exhausted hope
on snow-blasted slope of Mount Strobilus,
I gasp for breath of wisdom from blue sky,
but, just as I fall in pit of despair,
Sura Anahita embraces me
and fills my heart with courage of respect.

With help of Verethragna and Sura Osha,
Anahita urges me to attend
focus of my heart on people of Earth
who languish under corporate tyranny,
so I wake from dark slumber of despair
as Sura Zeus, son of Astaria.

Ascending double peak of Strobilus,
I stand before the burning bush of truth,
so Zurvan beams from spiral of the sun
and asks why his twin sons still fight for power,
Ahura Mazda, God of shining truth,
and Ahura Mainyu, God of dark lies.

Zurvan Akarana, God of Infinity,
teaches his son, Chronus, how to recount
progress of humanity to evolve
from angry ape to angel of control,
adjusting Zodiac Wheel with skillful hands
in chronicle that reveals spirit of Aion.

Awake as the Strobilus Mountain ghost,
I pilot starship of psychic insight
to patrol United Nations of Earth,
arresting tyrants and their oligarchs
to free humanity from their blind greed
so we live through justice and liberty.
