Sonnet 055

Not crown jewel, nor gold pyramids
Of the worldly powers can rule over your verse!
You outshine the glory of worshiped idols
And dominate their holy pages and stone tablets!
When men make their religions and pass down
Erase the wisdom and judgment of their decedents
You hold and shake your dark magic spear
Repaint the true image of humanity
Be it alive, be it splendid, be it free and bold
Be it bloody, to resurrect dead stage and corpses
Death for us to watch, we ponder life
Being mad so we ask ourselves a living question
Living in poetry is to awake in love
This mighty power raises me daily.
