Enheduanna Hymn

a​"Onward priestess of Ur
city of Sumeria.
onward lovely Enheduanna
fruit of Sargon of Akkad
fighting until you die
winning big battles
on sociopolitical issues.
Today so topical:
             “The Hymn to Inanna”*
             “The Temple Hymns”
and issues like climate change
war, pain, and poetry,
enjoy eternal glory.
Excellent glow--
come through our door
open to the field"
