Communal Laws Of Conduct

Through absolute simplicity of faith 
most people focus on their daily work 
to fund courageous strife against harsh cold 
so their hearts shine bright in gloom of despair 
as nations muddle through another year, 
transforming sorrow to commercial gold. 

Extracting minerals from heart of the Earth 
with desperate hands of earnest agony, 
we build enormous factories from steel 
to manufacture television gods 
who replay roles of Jupiter and Eve 
in psychosocial drama of our state. 

While Adam and Hera manage the store, 
selling graceful lifestyles of magazines 
through furnishings for the upper class home, 
Phoebus and Kwan Yin deliver the news 
about events on television shows 
that display noble spirit of our state. 

Fixing piston engines of cars and trucks, 
Thor keeps commercial machine running well 
while his wife Lakshmi works as clinic nurse 
providing care for souls with urgent needs 
to keep their bodies functioning with love, 
so we can live our lives with honest goals. 

Because I wear the mask of Lucifer, 
which I stole from the ancient gallery, 
I enforce communal laws of conduct 
to manage interactions of our tribe 
that ensure people can do what they will 
if actions of their hands may cause no harm. 

After Oedipus wins popular vote 
he works as Senator in Washington 
composing programs for the social state 
that provide financial assistance credits 
for fathers to earn a fair living wage 
and mothers to raise children with brave love. 

After Jupiter Alfred Prufrock reigns 
one hundred years of solitude in Hell 
to transform the waste land to Wonderland, 
he lectures at the university 
about great art of Michelangelo, 
then swims with mermaids in the silver sea. 

Descending from Heaven on wings of fire, 
Icarus and Michael lead world crusade 
to cast King Midas from the Throne of Power, 
then Ishtar and Mary, Mothers of Faith, 
design new world view of honest respect 
as guide for United Nations of Earth.
