Shamanic Return

Where are the shamans that descend to bring
Up poetry from Hades--these new Huns
Cannot transform without the gift of art--
The world will desiccate in decadence.

A gold and emerald feathered serpent
To terrify us with its promises,
Convince us we must all at last repent
To gain his insights--shed, renew our souls.

One must descend in order to receive
The gift that will transform the pain and strife
We find ourselves in--we must now believe
In a new culture that believes in life. 

The shaman's poetry will heal the rift
That's poisoning our culture--that's his gift.
