Best Pharaoh Poems

Cleopatra, the last Pharaoh of Egypt,
could have had Caesar or Anthony as a co-regent,
but rather than putting such power in either man's grasp,
she put leadership decisions in the path of an asp.

Thou oh man, who caused the kingdoms of this world to tremble and shake!
With wrath continual stroke against the nations raged.
Beneath the rose now entombed, ‘neath starry skies you shall await thy doom.
Blade and flame shall guard thy gates.
Silently shalt thou await thy resurrected fate.
Thou oh man, who caused the kingdoms of this world to...

***  C A T and the SPHINX***

Cat is on the prowl
Without taking a step!
Proud fellow, often unseen,
Gracefully gliding by.

He feels he knows it all —
At least all that is necessary to know —
Of the far, the wide, on  
Past the doors and through the walls.

Cat tallies his receipts
   From his surroundings,...

Old Pharaoh had enslaved the Jews; he would not let them go.
So God devised a mighty scheme; his go-to guy was Mo.
His brother Aaron was the voice, for Moses talked real slow,
So he would wave his arms around, but God would make it so.
Now Moses, when he saw the king, was eighty-three years old.
With only...

I have seen the formation
Of ancient lands
I have seen the creation
Of ancient hands

Pyramids
That soar to the sky
Here amid
Temples majestic and high

I have seen
Wonderful things
Tombs and scenes
Of ancient kings

I have seen huge blocks of stone
Cut by hand of flesh and bone
Fit in place for reasons known
To the architect alone

Each stone block from the quarry
Has a structure...

What do you do when you have an audience
with a man intoxicated by power and control? 
What do you say to a man
who has no heart nor a soul?  
What do you tell the man 
who continues to oppress? 
How do you articulate 
when delivering your address? 

Do you have the courage to stand...

For Pharaoh still exalts himself and thinks he’s in control,
But if he won’t release my folk, he’ll pay a heavy toll.
Tomorrow I will bring down hail like Egypt’s never seen,
On plants and trees and man and beast, and flatten everything.
But those who fear this word of mine will bring their stuff inside,
Will spare themselves ensuing...

The man who a Pharaoh would be
Must dress for success to the T.
The hair 'neath his chin
Must wrap round his shin:
It cannot be just to the knee!...

I’m an Egyptian
And my name is Jedeffrey
I am a Pharaoh

My pyramid’s lost
To Father Time’s shifting sand
And my mummy too

I pray Anubis
Will come and find me and then
I will live again

My body will rise
My pyramid will rise too
Then I will be whole

Body, heart and soul
Then I will wreak my revenge
On all who wronged me

Under a full...

Pharaoh's life teaching a lesson for the waring world,

Pharaoh feared children and killed them all,

But in Pharaoh's courts rolled Moses ball,

Pharaoh feared seeing Children's face,

The Children feared now seeing Pharaoh's rotten face,

In Cairo's museum!...

My Pharaoh, My King.
Today we join to become one,
for the gods have bestowed us a kingdom,
to bring prosperity and joy.

 My love, my hope.
we will spread cheer to our people,
as Asaur, Auset, and Heru watches over us.
we shall give them something to believe in,
we will overcome pain and doubt.

 For I am your Queen,
and I...

Pharaoh 
Proud of heart 
Exalted himself to the heavens 
Defied the living God 
And drowned in the red sea.

Enticing ...
Pharaoh pleasure shivers with orgasmic anticipation
of the coming attraction:
Big Caesar Palace  grand entertainment fit for a king
In his granite heart, the king of Egypt laughs:
Two old men gon overthrow me,
and set my slaves free ...
Hebrew please!
His tricky magicians, they were the best — 
they were Sodom-approved: Lewd dudes 
who dung dealt from the...

To God Man is ‘Nothing’,
But I maintain ‘Also Somethiing’,
The only Nothing with His Breath,
To alternative views ‘A Real Threat’.

Man: God’s Evicted Dust,
At whom He still looked back,
Because its clothing is ‘A Must’,
To ably cover its front and back,
“This Adam shall have to rust’,
But provide I should his lack …
He is one hell of a Ragamuffin,...

Pharaoh incarnate
their is a tall man 
standing 
he rules a nation 
the most populated
black nation in the world
he is a leader 
yet his people
wallow in lacks 
and starvation

Pharaoh incarnate

he loves is own commands
no one else count 
he rules with an iron hands 
he never compromise
