The True Builders of Giza
Born of the soil where the great river flows,
Long before history's boundaries arose,
The builders of Giza were sons of the Nile,
Crafting the stone in magnificent style.
Indigenous people of African grace,
The land was an ebony field of grace
Deep in the heart of that sun-sculpted place,
With skin of the earth, in variations of tone,
They carved out their lineage in monumental stone.
No modern illusions of "Black" or of "White"
Can capture the valley's true ancient light
Caused by suppousade supremacy of black over white
They belonged to the river, the silt, and the sun,
An African continuum, brilliantly spun.
And call them not Arabs, for history clears
The conquest of Arabs by thousands of years;
Three millennia passed ere that banner unfurled,
To change the face of this old desert world.
Nor were they capering, whip-driven slaves,
But honored designators, filling proud graves.
Paid for their labor in cattle and bread,
With seasonal respect for the sweat that they shed.
Moses and Rameses, in heritage true,
Breathed of the continent, old yet anew;
So let the truth stand where the monuments rise:
Native Egyptians beneath African skies.
Conquered, bashed and complete annihilation?
Capitulated, humiliated and completely exterminated?
Few poetic questions for the poem,
Rhetoric, depending on the tone you prefer
The history of sun beneath the African Skies
Of those who were before the Arabs?
Poetic and evocative of family and communities
Perhaps, we want to know?
Their histories and Their linage
Their achievement great and age
Where are the True Builders of Giza
Perhaps, we want to know?
I am lost in the heart of time and place
Stranded between the present and past
In my view are members of a civilized race
Whose slaves build stone pyramids to last
Hieroglyphics etched to record their history
Writings in symbolic language of inscriptions
In a complex allegorical system of mystery
Claimed to have been created by Egyptians
A hologram I witnessed scared me as a child
How did that blue woman get inside the ball
My imagination escaped and was running wild
In the Haunted Mansion ride she was so small
In three dimensions it was caused by laser light
But as a kid I couldn't have known how it was done
It succeeded in having the effect of causing fright
If I knew how it worked it would've spoiled the fun.
Now there is a hologram that you can actually touch
Using ultrasound waves that are traveling in air tracts.
It's called Ultra Haptics, and in the future will do much
To help with CT scans and dating Egyptian artifacts.
To see a hologram of Cleopatra would be stunning
I wonder if her hieroglyphic writing would give a clue
About the Queen known for her beauty and cunning.
Makes me wonder what else new technology can do.

"Timbales" are kettledrums from France and Spain; "Pauken" in Germany and "timpani" in other countries.
Greece, Middle East and ancient Egypt have kettledrums long time ago. Medieval crusaders in the 13th century brought nakers or small kettle drums in Europe for military purposes, specifically for signalling.
During the 15th century, Turks and Mongols used larger kettle drums for military processions.
Kettledrums are widely known as musical instruments in the 16th, 17th and 19th centuries.
When Greeks used the word "tympanon" for kettledrums as percussion instruments, Hebrews and modern Egyptians used similar drums for solemn rites, family gatherings and other special occasions.
Down the line after many centuries from its earliest roots, "timpani" (in plural form) is the commonly used word for kettledrums in both music and cultural entertainment. Kettledrums are made of copper or fiberglass in the form of bowls.
Kettledrums are lifeless objects, but the fairies and good elementals on earth give life to all other motionless entities. Material things around us may appear abstract, weird or odd, but it's only the human mind that can create life out of nothing.
If you play the accordion, harmonica, violin, bajo, piano, guitar, sitar, banduria, banjo, harp, Japanese Koto, Brazilian Tagima, African Kora, cymbals, gongs or any other instrument, playing the kettledrums can also be fun and worth the time. Don't forget to share your smiles and laughter with others! Life is an everlasting cycle of good and kindness. Stay good, grateful and beautiful!
And on that day, you will tell your son
saying: This is on account of what
the Lord, my God, did for me that day
when I went forth from Egypt...
At the stroke of midnight
I, the Lord, your God
wreaked judgments upon the Egyptians
smiting their every firstborn
from man unto beast
from the king who sits upon his throne
to the hewer of wood and the drawer of water
I, the Lord Almighty, did this
I, Myself, and not an angel
I, Myself, and not a seraph
I, Myself, and not a messenger
I am the Lord; I am He...
Note: Not a word-for-word translation from the Book of Exodus.
Rather, a poetic dramatization, but one which hews closely
to the Hebrew text. ~ gw
I surrender,
I have fought the good fight,
I have outlasted most,
In the fight that is seemingly lost.
I will leave the battlefield.
To spend more time with my grandson,
So one day in the future he might be the one,
To stop the slide into oblivion,
Of a once proud language,
That used pictures sparingly,
With the words, the main focus for the telling of the story.
Now the English language could be better understood by
The ancient Egyptians.
Or those who have not graduated from, only looking at
The pictures in any book they happen to come across.
I am no longer up to reading between the lines,
When scanning for news that is not fake,
Or guessing the relationship between the picture,
And the main story.
A by-line of a senior journalist,
No longer a guarantee,
Of good grammar or an ability to spell.
So, I surrender,
To the new order,
And will no longer,
Fret about when to use a comma,
I may even dispense with spell check.
I will, however, leave space enough
Just in case there is anybody out there,
Who can still read between the lines.
Moses brings us to his wilderness wanderings
leading God's people all the way through
many hardships experienced on the road
this battle was for real hope always ever new
The message for these Israelites
that their leader conveyed to their ears
fear not, stand firm, see God's salvation
believe in God no matter the tears
Have faith in your sovereign God
as God's people see their enemy today
whom you see today you'll never see again
Moses spoke the truth this he did say
Moses as God's prophet called upon
Lord Jehovah Nissi in Exodus 17v15
'The Lord is our banner' so divine
what greater comfort can be seen
The prophet of God did declare
stand true for the Lord will fight for you
and you have only to be silent
a perfect promise for you to view
("And Moses said to the people, “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again. The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.”.)- Exodus 14: 13,14

Many religions utilize, the symbol of the cross;
Christians symbol of the Quaternary;
Early Christianity ringed it; when fell, the ring was lost.
Modern Christianity worships the Trinity.
Pagan symbol, adopted by Roman Catholicism;
to lure Pagans away from Paganity.
Intended to eliminate the Christian/Pagan schism;
Christians believed they were saving humanity.
Ancient Egyptians, had the Ankh; symbol of eternal life;
it’s ring’s at the top; it’s said to be male and female.
Pharaohs worshipping the Aten carried it to the afterlife;
Tutt’s Dad, Akhenaten, worshiped Ra; Ra was a male.
Cross’s Origin, Ancient Chaldea;
original symbol for Tau.
Notes: The Cross originated in Ancient Chaldea .aka. Babylon where, it resembled the symbol for the Tao; the crossbar was, lowered by the Roman Catholics and adopted as their symbol. Jesus was, actually nailed to an upright pole.

Aten was the disk representing the Sun, in Ancient Egypt. It was representative of the Monotheistic Religion of Akhenaten; King Tutt’s Father. The disk was the symbol for the Sun God Ra.
In France back in the middle ages
The courts ordered the execution of a cow
How come you're probably asking
Sat on a farmer and squished him that's how
Larry Lewis ran the 100 yard dash
Setting a record at 101 years old
A mortician happened to be standing by
Carted him off to his funeral parlour I'm told
An oak tree emits during one full season
30,000 gallons of moisture
Much like this overweight lady I know
She perspires much more than that I'm sure
“Was it Eliot's toilet I saw?” spelled backwards
Is “Was it Eliot's toilet I saw?”
Bet you weren't aware of this wee tidbit
It leaves most people in awe
About 3000 years ago, Egyptians died
By the time they were thirty years old
Were forced to write their wills at age three
Just in case they caught a bad cold
Chocolate, sex and laughter are factors
That keeping the brain sound and healthy
Larceny, deceit, thievery and embezzlement
Are excellent ways to keep you wealthy
Hedgehog's hearts beat 300 times a minute
Like mine when I see a naked woman
Now no need to get all prissy and stuff
I'm a normal and healthy REAL MAN!

A man and a prophet
Moses is his name
one called by God
his life never again the same
He was a son of a hebrew
his mother left him in a basket
Pharaoh's daughter found him
but God made him his prophet
Moses fled for his life
after killing an Egyptian
God appeared at the burning bush
to lead him from his sin
God challenged his prophet
to bring his people out
from the burdens of Egypt
but Moses was full of doubt
Aaron became his mouthpiece
to be Moses partner in mission
but the people always grumbled
so God was grieved with their sin
But God then divided the red sea
so Moses led the people through
with the waters falling on the Egyptians
God's promises are always true
When Moses was up Sinai
meeting God face to face
receiving the Ten Commandments
the people were spurning God's grace
They pleaded with Aaron
for a god to worship
so melting all their jewels
they really lost their grip
So Moses seeing all of this
his anger was in full cry
the commandments crashed on the ground
and his heart just wanted to die
Moses life was so full
but not reaching land of promise
only seeing from Pisgah's top
to this all Moses did miss
Moses died being 120 years
buried in Moab's land
but nobody knows where
but on resurrection day he will stand
