God On Earth
What better place than here
to be
To stop drop anchor and rest aboard
my floating throne and dotted
upon by endless servants
feeding me grapes of wrath
And take in all of this ethereal world's
majesty I am seemingly deemed to own
And If only for a little while
Breathe in another most
auspicious rustic desert sunset
slowly fading behind the pyramids
chastening the horizon
Drifting pleasantly along the silent tepid
river Nile like a calm deflecting Oasis
Oh how I can only wish to imagine if
I were the Pharisee King of this domain
my own people and enslaved Israelites
as well
Placed in charge over all of this
fertile land and ever increasing empire
Adorned and drapped with such
bedazzled finery as die cast hand
crafted robes
Wearing a crown made out of
the purest yellow gold with every
kind of precious stone one can imagine
carefully set
So even when come sunset and daylight
is then eventually replaced by moonlight
He is still the only thing around able
still to be seen as his regal attire
reflects and shimmers the moonlight rays
afterglow luminescence back
And if you we're sceptical and never
did believe in his status as a living
God on earth before
After seeing him somehow be able
to glow and transcend even the
natural rule of law by turning
darkness into light
10 plagues alone your subjects
would gladly suffer through but
not suffice nor be enough
To start or begin a revolution
or revolt
Gather on mass and march we as
the common people finally standing
united under the banner
" Let Those People Go "
Because never mind them do it for
us after all we are the one's suffering
out lives now resemble hell
And what exactly is to be gained and
the reason behind this madness
And now you come to mention it
That has never actually ever been
explained
