Our Sacred Astarium

Based on moral authority of love 
bestowed on me by my mother at birth, 
I unite all world religions in one 
to honor Ishtar, Mother of Mankind, 
who taught us to gather in fellowship 
to feast and share stories of noble heroes. 

Every God who shines as bright guiding star, 
based on life of one famous human being, 
we idolize as paragon of virtue 
to stand enshrined in our sacred Astarium, 
global temple that includes in its walls 
all gods who symbolize our psychic traits. 

Every prophet who sees visions of truth, 
based on epiphany their brains design, 
which they express in wisdom-spelling verse 
inspired by divine Spirit of Mankind, 
we honor as speaker for the World Zeitgeist 
to compose holy scriptures we will read. 

Every temple built with strong hands of faith 
to honor one god who lived and died well, 
where story of their life is dramatized 
to demonstrate how they overcame hate, 
transcending animal to become human,  
we dedicate to Ishtar as Astarium. 

Ascending three steps to Heaven of Truth 
that mirrors our indifferent universe, 
we all seek to comprehend the White Whole 
revealed by messiah sleuth in world tales 
how wingless angel born from deathless mother 
becomes cosmic herald of wise Ishtar. 

When Ishtar stands on ziggurat of faith 
and sees humanity toiling in pain 
as slaves in world food-production machine 
she invites us to her feast in Astarium 
to share mythic tale of our tribal god 
who teaches us how to live till we die. 

With her global Song of Humanity 
Ishtar frees us from ideology 
of nationalist hate against other nations 
so we express our unique tribal culture 
as faithful members of one world religion, 
united well by our sacred Astarium. 

Since all world religions spread from Ishtar 
we keep our unique tribal character 
while united with one Astarian mind 
to honor every god who ever lived, 
so bear scriptural books, not guns, in your hands, 
and join us to sing hymn of one world peace.
