Ancient Egypt

Nile stretches like serpent from abyss Because it nourishes the desert it reflects universal bliss On its shores Cleopatra gave Mark Anthony a kiss Where she turned a ruler from a princess That is where the ancient Sphinx whispers riddles of old Whoever answers them will have more than just gold This is where God Amun Ra looks down on earth when day is about to unfold This is where ancient pyramids only surviving ancient wonder are precisely it to behold The pyramids are a tomb But this is no place of just death this is a womb This is no place of gloom This is place where glory of Pharaohs soul will bloom For his soul will not simply disperse But be one with Amun Ra secret and sacred universe Where with very God pharaoh can converse And in the eternal light and perhaps ultimate good submerse This is the culture distant and unique Having great offering to those who knowledge seek This culture rose when closeness of suns’ binary star was at its peak Ancient but advanced pyramid was stepping stone to essence of soul force of which divine winds speak
