sacrificial offerings placate the wife of shiva
sacred fires fuel the brilliance of our trans and femme divas
locked in wax and oil is the power to shed light
we need our fires stoked–we need rebels willing to fight
a nascient batallion of bypo freaks has evolved the rite of fire therapy
we meditate on the rhythms channeled by flames and fed by telepathy
in fire we see our past–the power of humanity’s ancient art
we see visions of our future–see wormholes to distant stars
the goddess of fire gives sanctuary to overstimulated minds
she lends credence to the resistance that karma has designed
we must worship her power–listening for the divinity within
we must build cybernetic towers–linking the genius of gramsci to the insight of baldwin
we are living in another country–so deeply polarized
its time to organize, to grind, to pray, and to rise
its time to torch the flags of white supremacy and unfettered corporate greed
we can craft the ourlines of a society that can meet all of our needs
the goddess of fire can help heal our wounds and build new faith in community
the revenge of history will be her hand in helping our movements to torch the bourgeoisie
quantum computers linked hypodermically to monks in meditation
arming an army of artists to re-envision our subterranean nation
goddess of fire–lords of light–bless our movement this summer night
give us the vision and the power to conquer satanic might
