Many a year have cometh to pass,
Since the Pyramids of Giza were built out of glass.
Still Even now the most wonderous of sites,
But way back then they shimmered like lights.
Inside served the Priests who conversed with a God,
who sat on a throne with a shiney gold rod.

His sceptre was curled right at the base,
the deepest azure adorned his sweet face.
Never far from his side was his dutiful wife,
who held in her hand the symbol of life.
He commanded his subjects divinely and just,
precepted they were on the perils of lust.

Many things he divulged till nothing was left,
Thou shall not kill and the Trespass of theft.
He taught them great wisdom, lucid and clear,
to crush grape into wine and grain into beer.
For 3000 years he tended his flock,
with unbridled Love, solid like rock.

After this era the Bull became Goat,
to his celestial belt did Osiris then float.
Thus ever decree and judge from his Star
he soon was succeeded by Lord Amon-Ra.
Ra summoned his Priests and told them the truth,
which had an effect profane and aloof.

They couldn’t accept or atleast understand,
That Almighty God was in everyman.
From out of their chambers they fled for a while,
but were later discovered found dead in the Nile.
Of what had upset them, Ra couldn’t decide,
compelled them to madness, hence suicide.

Through lack of his Priests he couldn’t be heard,
away from this Earth he flew like a bird.
Thus The Nation of Egypt became as a child,
without moral direction her people ran wild.
Until came the day when all had but rot,
Thebes was no more and its splender forgot.

So into the desert sank the city of Light,
swallowed all up with one mighty bite.
All that remains and forever will stand,
was once made of glass but has now turned to sand.
Soon constellations will revert into place,
Aquarious revealled to the whole human race.
We’ll renounce our obsession with warring and wealth,
when our Lord shall return in the Year of the Twelfth.
