Sands of Mesopotamia
The fertile Tigris and Euphrates
A pantheon of gods arose
Inanna among the greatest
Goddess of love and desire
Goddess of war and death
Sacred guardian of contradiction
Her prophecy infused with vision
Society steeped in patriarchy
But allowing for a goddess this fierce
Manifest in the orbit of Venus
Ancient progenitor of Aphrodite
Inanna’s cult a dialectic
Conjusting the power of opposites
In Sumeria rooted in Uruk
In Akkadia becoming Ishtar
This is the divine feminine
Veins of her narrative transfused
Goddess of both love and war
This sacred fuel forever renews
