Ghosts of long-past myths haunt our world today 
as mortal embodiments in frail flesh 
of immortal characters from book tales 
who represent eternal energies 
that migrate through human bodies of hope 
through endless recurrence of formal tropes. 

God is Idea wrapped in human flesh 
of every mortal who attained high state 
as enlightened leader over their tribe, 
congealed from characters in history 
whose special personalities reflect 
conceptual force of social authority. 

Each mortal who attained state of godhood, 
El, Zeus, Jove, Jupiter, Brahman, Shangdi, 
Buddha, Odin, and many other gods 
named as creator of the universe, 
persist as glamorous idols of power 
recorded in ancient religious myths. 

Immortal energy of social leader 
migrates through frail bodies of mortal men 
who transcend limited scope of their mind 
through apotheosis of clear insight 
flashed by epiphany of wise attention 
to rule progress of their society. 

Close analysis of communal code 
through careful deconstruction of state power, 
that preserves patriarchal institutions, 
exposes blind regard of selfish genes 
to exert influence through reproduction 
that cripples dynastic bloodlines with greed. 

Hercules represents arrogant bully 
who threatens violence with club of hate 
to establish bold empirical rule 
through aggressive exploitation of men 
by asserting authority through threats, 
now symbolized by haughty figure of Satan. 

Jesus represents compassionate doctor 
who heals wounded bodies with wand of love 
to nurture innate talents in strong skills 
through disciplined education of men 
by guiding hearts through moral parables, 
now symbolized by humble figure of Christ. 

Ghosts of every character in old myths 
possess living people with ancient souls 
of psychic energy they choose to play 
as we perform our temporary roles 
in drama of construction and destruction 
till children bury us and take their turn.
