Brave Daughters Of Amen

She always asks the blind man how to see
true essence in each object she perceives,
but he replies that death will set us free
as sweet relief for every soul who grieves,
so she measures strict bounds of time and space
to name true features of the godless face.

She always asks the mute man how to sing
insightful lyric of the broken heart,
but he attempts to fly on crippled wing
beyond perimeters of the dream chart,
so she carves runes on trunks of screaming trees
then brews sweet mead from tears of honeybees.

When she asks the crippled man how to fly
above the endless maze of social myths,
he teaches, good reporters must ask why
the fairy queen once ruled from monoliths,
so she films documentaries on ghosts
of people murdered by the Lord of Hosts.

When she asks the hungry man how to cook
food for gods in ziggurat temple hall,
he records human history in the book
as word of God who hangs on marble wall,
so she fries burgers at the small cafe
near the factory where old widows pray.

Though she asks the preacher for secret key
to open door of wisdom locked by fear,
he snarls, she cannot know the mystery
because Jesus is the Mind Puppeteer,
so she plays folk songs in the haunted church
depicting the fool and his lonely search.

Though she asks the jester for demon mask
he wears while mocking dictators and kings,
he assigns her the most difficult task
of finding how Daedalus makes god wings,
so she plays Zenobia on global stage
to oppose Christian Nationalist rage.

If she asks Mercury for turtle lyre
to sing epic tale of heroes and fools,
he hides how Helios designed the tire
for his wagon filled with technical tools,
so she frees humanity from despair
when she rides the gold hot-air balloon chair.

If she asks Apollo for his starship
powered by crystal jewels with star eyes,
he takes her on his transgalactic trip
to populate every planet with spies,
so she arrests the most powerful men
who abuse brave daughters of Amen.

Orpheus hangs out with Zenobia in the villa in Rome, drinking wine by the pool as she recounts the rise and fall of her Palmyrene Empire in Syria.
