Pyramids

One word synopsis 
Poetic hypothesis 
Foundation 
on top of it
getting to the heart of it
Building and building 
a life worth living
walls and ceiling 
blessings with
misgivings 
twiddly dinks
of a sphinx
and Nubian 
ladies craved
naked cradling 
princes as babies
White Jesus framed. 
a boy called
first and 
middle name.
A king to be
dirty are his feet.
clay for foundation 
El Shaddai molded
from shackles, shacks
and hypertension 
stop pretending 
from a premises
he was owed 
something 
God had
already given.
Black dignity 
redefined from
ancient times
We stood
inline with royalty 
and the stars were
named by us.
That house
on the Nile
was architected
by us.
