Brave Voice Of Diotima

In our search for beauty to generate
new bodies of flesh from spirit of hope,
we hear voice of Diotima explain
progress of passion to honest respect
when we fuel flame of love as lamp of truth
that guides our quest beyond darkness of faith.

Fear leaves us stranded on the signless road
that we blaze with our feet in woods of fate,
yet resource we acquire from stores of hope
provides material for our crafting hands
to transform wisdom to practical deeds
so we create treasure from poverty.

If I happen to follow the wrong god
home to misty Wonderland by the sea,
I will retreat along the path I blazed
to find the star that calculates my fate
because enormous spheres of burning gas
far away know I need light to give love.

Each pattern of behavior that provides
guidance for how I perform my own life
was designed by people who lived and died
long before I appear in dream of time,
so I feel ghostly threads of their performance
shimmer through fragile web of energy.

When parade of our mutual life gets lost
in looming darkness of social conflict,
I hold high lamp of liberty with hope
to find my own way in the blasting storm
by sending signals in riddles of truth
to indicate our location in doom.

Though darkness of eternity is deep,
which looms in storm clouds over our vast land
to shroud criminal deeds of angry men
with sanctioned veil of official contempt,
we shine with loving respect for all life
as light in lamp that Diogenes made.

Brave voice of Diotima echoes clear
through maze of shattered idols where we wait
for Justice to assert bold principles
which activates our strong collective force
to oppose tyranny of greedy men
in fight against their exploitative crimes.

Though fate seems random in how we all end,
our choices in moments of intense hope
design framework of fortune we contest,
so we attend with generous gifts of faith
strict requirements of blind chemical laws
to shine in darkness with light of our love.
