Role Of God

Each time we fight to defeat fascist tyrants
in constant war to defend human rights
more tyrants rise from ache of arrogance
when fearful men steel their hearts with old hates
and attempt to control forces of nature
by organizing people in large groups
and assigning each person simple role
to process food so everyone can eat.

Each man who attains position of power
as head of state ruling over his nation
must seek to balance forces of desire
to organize all factions of society
by employing economic principles
that maximize production of aliment
through risky investment of capital
then managing distribution of goods
by enforcing communal principles
that provide sustenance for every member
who participates in the nation-state
that ensures fairness and justice for all.

We must fight men who seek to control men
to maintain freedom of each man to act
sustaining interest of their prosperity,
yet control the motives of our own actions
so that we create more than we destroy
by analyzing quick process of change
through natural physics of cause and effect,
and balance achievement of our success
so our growing gain does not cause the loss
of other people struggling to survive,
for we are free to do what we desire
as long as our actions do not cause harm.

We never will achieve Utopian order
in perfect society of free men
but we can strive to ensure equality
of opportunities and just rewards
for every member of our thriving group,
for groups will always contest other groups
when interests of their prosperity clash
and groups more successful sustaining health
of all its members, whether weak or strong,
will assimilate groups that fail to grow.

The God each group worships will symbolize
the most successful leader of their group
whose vision, they clearly articulate,
guides their actions to survive with success
by presenting modes of action based well
on most expansive system of morality
which they develop when they face harsh death
and overcome the weakness of despair
to become the Superman of their group.

The mortal man who faces the cruel tyrant,
like wily David battling bully Goliath,
and breaks his forceful will with stone of truth,
we crown our King as God in mortal flesh
and freeze his character of noble will
in standard Idea of the Tribal Leader
to immortalize his grand heroic deeds
as guide that shows us how we ought to live
to overcome death and become ourselves
and achieve status of enlightenment
on our journey from ape to Superman.

The leader who befriends each lowly member
of his society teeming with free men
and guides his journey to enlightenment
by giving him aid to achieve his will
through development of talent to skill
plays good Messiah who loves all his people,
willing to die so they may all live well.

Tyrants and Messiahs alike will rise
from every group that seeks to defeat death
so we must choose most noble mortal man
based on high standards of honest conduct
to play the role of God who leads our tribe
so our nation survives destructive hate
by acting with constructive love to build
bridges of hope between our lonely hearts.
