Pharaonic Poems | Examples


Absurdity

When everything around me throws me into the pool of insanity
It reminds me of the nature of humanity
A justification of reality
When trapped in poverty
I thrive to survive in this life of uncertainty

While some sell their virginity to survive
I sell my talent to survive
While some reincarnate pharaonic slavery just to survive
I trust in the living God to survive

To attain a mere degree, they compromise the code of morality
But I believe in the trinity; Transparency, Dignity And Loyalty

They applaud me when I fulfill their request
But mock and bite me at the back when I thrive to be my best
They push me away when I’m in debt
But pull me when I’m the greatest

So, what then is the meaning of life?
Why do we foolishly thrive to please people?

Why can’t you be you as YOU?
Why can’t you be real?
Why do you suffocate your identity just to keep up an appearance?

This is absurdity
An insanity
That which reflects the nature of humanity
A reality
Nobody seem to understand me cos they are not me
But I love me cos I am ME.

It Was Not a Windmill

That was not a windmill, it was

a beautiful wings-cutting mechanism

with a vitreous red peacock inside

who puts a solar edged Venice afternoon in motion

in a gentle blue square

into which we stuck our wings

so that our heavier-than-air bodies could happily flutter

with one thousand and one flexibilities

on the ethereal geometry above the roofs

where pharaonic flags pompously glorify us

as large cosmic objects pushing comets towards the others

in a fireworks game of our honeymoon…

and, suddenly we found ourselves down:

no, it was definitely not a windmill!

Cleopatra

Since the day she was born
   She became a special addition to the family,
Destined for affection,
   Attention, and royalty.

Her protective nature,
   Her courageous demeanor,
Her generous affection
   Emanates throughout Her Kingdom.

Her essence of beauty,
   Reminiscent of a floral aura,
Represents the combination
   Of her personality
And her elegant yet majestic pose. 

Always surrounded by the Love of Ra,
   Praised by the pantheon of Gods & Goddesses Above,
Sits so quietly with a pharaonic profile
   Similar to the Sphinx on The Nile.
