That ancient image carved from olive wood 
depicting wise Athena Polias, 
which stood in the sacred Erechtheum 
one hundred years of social revolution, 
inspired Socrates and Plato to quest 
for truth of life through the language we speak. 

Though statue of Athena Polias 
vanished long ago from dream of the world, 
her spirit lives as flame inside my heart 
with two and a half millennia of wisdom 
encoded in philosophy of truth 
to program how I perceive spinning Earth. 

Ingenious lovely things have all returned 
through miracle of science we design 
to shine as beacon on the rocky shore 
so ships of seekers map the Promised Land 
where they may build with courage of the lost 
new home of the brave in land of the free. 

Our honor builds new mighty monument 
with noble triumph on that shining hill 
where freedom-loving men once reigned as guides 
to serve good People of the Evening Land, 
till from foul swamp of greed the tyrant crawls 
to slouch with toxic hate in the White House. 

No longer protected with paper walls 
of howling books from spiral of the moon, 
we wander circles in daily routines 
with indifferent passion to survive war 
fought in cyberspace of the psychic law 
between nationalists and globalists. 

Soon from deep abyss of the swirling sea 
will rise the Hidden Dragon of world power 
to challenge supremacy of the Eagle 
which shall wake from its century-long slumber 
Jovian Lion from mists of Avalon 
who joins the Bear in world war for the Earth. 

I feel deep in dark cavern of my heart 
bright spirit of Athena stir from sleep 
to rouse my soul from tomb of unknown gods 
and stand in hall of the Acropolis 
where she holds Torch of Liberty that shines 
clear through choking darkness of tyranny. 

That timeless image molded from our hearts 
depicting wise Athena Polias, 
shall stand in the sacred Erechtheum 
one hundred thousand years of divine truth 
to inspire people of the Earth to quest 
for truth of life through the language we speak.
