Premium Memberconfidence of Pharaoh Akhenaten

Pharaoh Akhenaten liked his potbelly to show
He told the artists to draw him Rubenesque without woe
An Egyptian monarch with confidence back in the day
So, the skilled artesian painted Akhenaten exactly that way.

OZYMANDIAS- THE PHARAOH MADE IMMORTAL BY SHELLEY

Here is someone who is worthy of all the grace,
Let me describe his glory before his name gets erased,
The Pharaoh Ozymandias of Egypt,
Who was even worthy of Shelley's praise.

He has done a lot I feel,
Even though I cannot see his real reel,
I am sure he was praised well,
Even by the worthy poet for that- I

Pharaoh and the Empress

Alright, Pharaohs and Queens, gather 'round, let's set this basement ablaze! Yo, check the mic, one two, it's time to elevate these days. Incense burnin', roses spread, yeah, that's the vibe we chase, Got that desert heat flowin' even in this hazy maze, Underground oasis, where the rhythm plays, We buildin' pyramids of pleasure in

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!

The Black Pharaoh

THE BLACK PHARAOH
 
In modern lands where histories entwine,
Timeless eminence and strength remain.
A Black Pharaoh rises, strong, proud & reigns,
Echoes of ancient lost glory now aligns.4

As a symbol of resilience, he sits on his golden throne,
Presence like a sculpture, carved from ancient stone,
In the bustling city streets, he dominates.
On his shoulders, are cities and fate.8

God is always in control

Noah the prophet, was sent by God, to those who did not believe, he lived and preached a thousand years, but they still did not conceive. He begged and urged the pagan clans, but God had other plans. He built the ark at Gods command, to sail a mighty sea, they mocked and laughed when

Premium MemberLike a Desert Pharaoh

  
   In a little café down by the bay
     He sipped his coffee and looked around

   The water fetid, a sickly green
     In nearby woods, few trees seen

   Nary a creature grazed in the parched meadow

Rehearsal

A step towards crowning perfection,’
Notions of luck much like infection;
Before a show drop that conception:
Talents grow with good self-perception…

Blunders men should reduce to zero:
The only way one seems a hero.
You don’t harden your heart like Pharaoh;
Awaits one the poor record of Nero…

Artistes crave a resounding applause.
Why would one pander away a plus?
For a standing ovation

Premium MemberC a T and the Sphinx

***  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,

Premium MemberOld Pharaoh - 1 of 2

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

Premium MemberOld Pharaoh - 2 of 2

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

Man Is Nothing and Something

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,

Within the Tomb

There are treasures untold
untouched
inside my soul
Like King Tut's tomb
buried beneath the sand
Wondrous wealth
A heart of gold
Loyalty like lapis lazuli
precious and rare
Amulets of affection
Canopic jars of care
The loom on which 
I weave my words
into tapestries
telling my stories
The sarcophagus in which
my spirit soundly sleeps
waiting to be awakened
by one who's brave
and bold enough
to break the sacred seal
and show

She knew if she could pull this off, she would be the best
Pharaoh Ancient Egypt had ever seen, it was her utmost quest.
You need to hide the fact that you are female her daddy said.
If a servant finds out, it must be off with his all-knowing head!

You must look regal at all times, and use
