Brave Self-Sacrifice

When half-moon shimmers in the silver sky
where people wander hungry in the maze,
young wolf-witch climbs the lonely mountain peak
to gaze with love on the drought-stricken world,
then stabs obsidian knife into her heart
so her fertile blood soaks the world with rain.

Why must our nation of fear-stricken souls,
her mother cries out to the half-moon ghost,
require brave self-sacrifice through selfless love
of that pure soul who loves without constraint,
then weeps as she holds daughter in her arms
whose eyes glow with immortal light of stars.

The individual body with bright soul,
unique to psychic vision of its brain,
cannot be resurrected from the dead,
for spirits vanish when their bodies cease
to function through their chemical concept,
and dissipate to swirls of mindless dust.

Yet story of her noble sacrifice
to save her people from frantic despair
inspires each person to transcend their pain
and work together in grand harmony
constructing social system based on laws
that enforce equality through respect.

Bright blood that flows from pulsing of her heart
soaks in hard sunbaked soil of cracked despair
to fertilize telic purpose of seeds
that sprout from their efficient cause of being,
transforming ideas into final forms
inherent in prime structure of their fate.

Explanatory factor of our being
guides how we grow from spark of urgent hope
when we build factories to produce goods
that form global food-production machine
designed to capitalize strict fabrication
then socialize uniform distribution.

Emerging from tomb of humanity
with hunger-fashioned wings of ardent faith,
Minerva rises from brave sacrifice
in war against cruel kings of tyranny
to free all peoples of our spinning globe
who compose United Nations of Earth.

Through heart-inspiring vow of loyalty,
people, focused on world democracy,
consolidate fractured religious states
in global faith endorsing Liberty
designed by Ishtar, mother of all faiths,
to focus our hearts on progress of love.
