The reborn seasons of earth for humanity
which for fertility was held,
of soil and the continuation of lineage
for spring and winter born;
the abduction which for the underworld
is like worms for garbage turn
into nourishment again.
But fragments of the Eleusian mysteries
of which much is not known -
Yet, for the high regard they were held
by the low men trampled
whom for their wealth and power
made it into a celebration
instead of dedications.
For over time were the rites changed
and by others affected;
Then for Dionysos to get involved
it became a continual rape
of Persefone, to satiate pleasures
rather than be in presence
of the divine mystery.
