Equale

The oboe air sounds as we the Chords laud Kalki

Triumph is ours! We kneel with Tower might in all our minds

And then we raise our hands

As we exalt the space-dark lakebed where all our foes repose

Their souls and bones diffuse and cold like evening and fog

Long gone.

Behold this funeral march of joy! Behold our banners blaze like suns!

Proclaim the K and its force deployed! Rejoice as all succumb!

All must then know the Delta emblem of death, the love Kshatriyas won.

Procession done galaxies await all the free

Blades we now raise are charged with glassy light and Kalpa-timed

And so we make our plans

Within the dawn that vast Red Sky wrath proclaimed for Watchers’ joy

And march the endless plain to laud the gain of our God

And son.


Ashen Light Command

All those asteroids now careening through bright Venus clouds

All those monoliths now descending through the solar glare

Gargantuan blocks soon expanding on to a soft lava

To form our base

And they interlock, chondrites combating so hard against acid,

The sulphur rain

Gales that can never wreck femtotech software -

Regal code for the retroing thrust on each huge rock

Royal signs for the Ashen light swirls of the night side.

See the vapour trails now arising from Maxwell Montes

See the smoke and dust now emerging like bright nebulae

Titanic updrafts soon arriving at our desired target

The cooler clouds

But they pass away, showing the progress made now by our tower,

The fifty K

Height that we know provides angular balance

Crust now thickened by nuclear blasts to a great width

Mars’ Olympus inspiring great Hive Men from day one.

Ishtar Terra now within range of this famed satellite

Ishtar Terra now a plateau for our prime landing craft

And Skadi Mons, cruel peak but centre of our sublime project

Awaits our rule

And the warriors waiting to battle wild worlds in this system

The galaxy

Ever inspiring dark infinite visions

Spiral vast with its globular swarms and their red light

Spiral cold but a smouldering goal for the K men.


Self Suzerain


Now I’m so close Proxima hails me

Flares of red flame Praising my skill

Ruby challenged Diamond shielded

But it jolts hard Gravity’s hill.

So I lean back Cheering that red disk

Venerating Lucifer’s blaze

All the star clouds Nebulous angels

Even bright stars Lost in the haze.

And alone here Suzerain leasing

Far but fearless Plasma my aim

Poised to gain now Samples of sunlight

Who could rule me Threaten my claim?

So I swoop low Primed to scoop star fire

Lasers guiding Probes to the glare

Angry gases Surge on my viewport

But I’m smiling Loving the dare.


That’s my nature Facing the fury

Always has been. Always will be.

I am Vishnu I am Lord Shiva

I am their son I am Kalki.

Amine Linkmen

Roused from minimal formal darkness

Charged with love, the Lone Pair’s plea

Praise the sign of Vishnu’s greatness -

Amine’s link, who sets us free!

Lines of kindred, lanes of stardust

Shiva, Shantih joined as One

Kneel before him, know the Linkman:

Being’s lemma, youth and Son!

O, the light of flarestars blazes sacred!

O, their aim is youth and timeless glory!

Hail the Boy! Hail the Boy!

Hear us sing, you crowned with triple circles!

Now your radiance guides us starward

Now you make us young like you

Kim and Kravah, Kathor’s Scion

Vastness’ spark and kalpas’ due!

Hive of minds, the Tower’s triumph

Delta K and now we see

Life exalting, dark defiant

Males rejoice in great Kalki!

Arrokoth

Distant

Silent

Drifting

Spinning

Waiting

Strengthening

Reaching

Wakening

And now I’ve come to stay

And now I’ve come to be here

Twin Arrokoth my sign -

Red hammer sign of Kalki.

Love me one Lord now

Hear me orator

Know me Kantah and Kumudah

But fear me, Kathor’s own!

Heed well the warrior’s roar!

Two Gods took root in me

Tor’s art and Heaven’s arrow.

So the galaxy now proclaims the crossbow’s oath

Amethyst or emerald, rotor’s son.

Each ark of stars a fiery hook and call -

The far glimpse and the beckoning fair one.
