At second coming of Messiah Sleuth, 
foretold by laughter of the Cosmic Herald, 
wise Lamia falls in love with Lucifer 
while Phoebus wants to marry Melusine, 
and grim Orpheus finds Ophelia 
dancing in bright gloom by the River Styx. 

Yet when the Falconer on desert sands 
breaks open skull of Ozymandias 
at flashing beacon in eyes of the Sphinx, 
the rainbow-winged Serpent of Desire 
ascends on silver wings of Icarus 
to find Earendil over Middle-Earth. 

The best who lack conviction still wear crowns 
while gangs of angels wearing clean white robes 
declare with passionate intensity 
plan to make America great again 
so sons of Jesus rule as Presidents 
to expand Roman Empire beyond Europe. 

This shocking revelation now at hand 
that troubles sights of seers in dreamless caves 
describes ascendance of the Lion King 
who wears mask of Simon Magus on stage 
leading rite to crown Beauty Queen of Earth 
as wise Sophia in Temple of Truth. 

Though Thea tries to wake Saturn from dream, 
Faustus succeeds through misdirecting play 
to fool proud Mephistopheles with trick 
that new World Empress born in Bethlehem 
appears when skull of Hamlet prophesies 
fall of every cruel king from haughty pride. 

For twenty more centuries of stony sleep 
First Mother will continue global reign 
since Ishtar stood on ziggurat of stars 
ten thousand years ago at dawn of song 
to organize labor of hungry hands 
that operates world food-production machine. 

Though tyrants rise and fall in waves of war 
to loose the blood-dimmed tide of angry greed 
as they attempt to control minds of men, 
First Mother Ishtar stands above them all 
as shining paragon of Liberty 
who bears bright Torch of Justice for all souls. 

Leading ceremony of innocence 
to bind humanity with common goal 
of equal civil rights for every soul, 
First Mother Ishtar bears both Sword and Lyre 
to appoint Guard and Bard who guide mankind 
toward peace in United Nations of Earth.
