When bright star of Ishtar shines in black sky 
as Orphic harbinger of her great power, 
we know our age of chaos and despair, 
when nations battle over river lands, 
will be transformed by wisdom of her love 
to Elysian era of global peace. 

From flash of lightning that strikes from black sky 
suffusing pyramid of the One Eye 
with bright electric beams of writhing power, 
Ishtar appears with arms stretched wide as wings 
to cast clear glow of psychic energy 
through Torch of Liberty in her right hand. 

Through swirling chaos of terrible gloom 
that batters our souls with disastrous storms, 
when greedy men compelled by blinding fear 
attempt to coerce our hearts with despair, 
bright light of Ishtar dispels smog of hate 
to transform waste land into paradise. 

Inspired by vision of her divine eyes, 
that see how people on Earth could share wealth 
we create with compassion of our hands, 
we gather in state councils to discuss 
how we can organize talented minds 
to enact programs that benefit all. 

With focus of attention based on love 
our wise lawmakers could codify rules 
that guide our conduct of constructive work 
to maximize efficient exercise 
when each observant soul applies their will 
through cordial teamwork of our global course. 

Yet mortal men, who through fortunate luck 
attain high positions of social power, 
anoint themselves as presidents for life 
by crowning themselves bold vicars of god 
to enforce private schemes as public laws 
though we rebel against oppressive greed. 

Now tyrants who control corporate empires 
enslave millions of loyal citizens 
to work for greater good of the whole state 
with patriotic fervor of cold doubt 
till they take arms and fight to rule the world 
with bogus confidence of victimhood. 

When selfish tyrants battle for control, 
which plunges nations in brutal world war, 
then Hidden Dragon of the noble seer 
will rise strong from chaotic energy 
to manage world food-production machine 
under bright star of Ishtar in black sky.
