Notes About The Poem

how I see a world losing the back bone to reality

modern ideas dictate against for one the truth being told

hense the symol of the ostrich from an ancient kingdom or the old dynasty 

tells it exactly how the state of welfare should be obeyed 

An Ancient Call To the New

The ostrich feather of justice
weighing values from the heart 
processed from ethical and moral principles
upholding a measure to see right from wrong 
conflicting roles of chaos needs to be addressed 
there is a disturbance against the cosmic harmony 
where blasphemy brings blindness to individual's 
achieving nothing through lies and violence 
echoed from tombs declarations
ape made laws that attack the very weakest human right

: "I have given bread to the hungry and clothed the naked" and 
"I was a husband to the widow and father to the orphan
does this ring with any bells of clarity where has charity gone

A passage in the Instruction of Ptahhotep presents Ma'at as follows: 
represents for me in person law of the universe

Ma'at is good and its worth is lasting.
It has not been disturbed since the day of its creator,
whereas he who transgresses its ordinances is punished.
It lies as a path in front even of him who knows nothing.
Wrongdoing has never yet brought its venture to port.
It is true that evil may gain wealth but the strength of truth is that it lasts;
a man can say: "It was the property of my father.

I found this ancient writing modern before it's time 
we as a world condemn the living slip into the dark ages of slavery
