The history of human civilization 
begins with Amen, Mother of Mankind, 
sitting on her small flat-top pyramid, 
sheltered by four pillars of tall palm trees, 
and describing creation of the world 
in song while worshippers feast from her hands. 

After Ishtar completed quest for truth, 
stripped of illusions in the underworld, 
she implemented first religious rites 
in temple on the ziggurat of Ur 
from which all religions of mankind grow 
with priests who cook food for the sacred meal. 

With Abraham and Sarah going west 
Astarism sprouted into Judaism 
from which Christian denominations spring, 
including Islam, that respect bold voice 
of the Prophet who teaches men with faith 
to exercise self-control in the law. 

With Brahman and Saraswati going east 
Astarism sprouted into Hinduism 
from which spring Krishnaism and Shaivism, 
and all the gods that multiply in form 
from one immortal Spirit of Mankind, 
with Buddhism teaching men self-control. 

When Akkadian culture began to bloom 
in lush Mesopotamian fields of wheat, 
and recording priests fought over which system 
to use, ideograms or the alphabet, 
Shin lead fleet of ships to colonize China 
where Taoism and Confucianism bloomed. 

Amen on her pyramid in Egypt, 
and Ishtar on her ziggurat in Ur, 
developed strict rites of social control 
that sign every religion in the world 
which are all sects of our one global cult 
formed through faith of Astarianity. 

The ruins of temples, where humankind 
worshipped great spirit of the universe 
at communal feasts for ten thousand years, 
lie scattered across waste land of our faith, 
for we have found that Cosmic Mind of God 
shines as the consciousness in our own brains. 

Though nations crowded on our spinning globe 
are fractured into fierce opposing sects, 
we all came from one original hall 
where Ishtar sang Creation of the World, 
so let us reassemble one world faith 
from puzzle of Astarianity.
