Both Zeus And Jehovah

Both Zeus And Jehovah

Eye of infinite love blooms into light 
that billows from first flash of the big bang 
through spiral galaxies of singing suns 
which nurture life on third globe from their glow 
who wake with consciousness of hungry hope 
to name all things with narrative of truth. 

I stand on ocean shore at flash of dawn 
to watch two gods as thunderstorms compete 
for who will rule how men perceive the world 
through civil war of material control 
between light of order and dark of chaos 
that bloom into the Many from the One. 

Bright sparks of atoms swerve in boundless void 
to swirl in spheres of blazing energy 
that spark tight coiling chains of carbon rings 
which writhe from hydrothermal vents of lust 
to form organic brains from molecules 
dreaming virtual model of Earth in words. 

No supernatural mind beyond all matter 
designs organic forms from chemicals 
for we evolve in strife to transcend death 
by generating bodies for each life 
preserving immortal soul of our genes 
as we seek to reincarnate our minds. 

I ponder why taut strings of pulsing light 
coil into atoms swerving in the void 
that link through molecules of energy 
to form specific bodies with four limbs 
till we stand on shore of the Mother Sea 
and formulate why we exist at all. 

I wake from endless dream of my ancestors 
to give myself new artificial name 
which signifies with unique character 
this special personality I am 
but one of zillions who have lived and died 
on every planet in the universe. 

Though Zeus and Yahweh on the mountain top 
fight over whose grand narrative of truth 
best guides humanity through daily life 
I write my own new scripture from their lies 
that helps my eyes perceive reality 
based on veracious nature of our being. 

I am the wandering fool who plays the lyre 
designed by Mercury from tortoise shell, 
whose soul incorporates in one whole self 
complex concepts of both Zeus and Jehovah, 
consigned by Ishtar Lady of the Lake 
as Surazeus Astarius Jesuvius.
