Concentrated Flames,
tamed by refined skin,
a kin, elevated from within,
a power, suppressed
by monumental cowards,
sent to devour,
Alexander ate the great,
defaced the nostrils of our race,
and misplaced our name,
yet our frame remains,
on God’s primary stage,
for we were made plague resilient,
ordained by Hieroglyphics,
adorned with amulets-
luxurious lapis lazuli-
adept men admired
mirrored images conjoined to mirages;
serene scenes set on nilotic dreams,
but complexities intervened
inundating the pristine.
mystiques faded,
philosophers’ stoned.
phobic doubters tore the left eyes
bedazzled by Ma’at’s thematic sequence.
her medic didn’t care
as much as she Thoth.
she scoffed,
laughed,
coughed and wheezed
in her coffin,
ravaged
by the bandits
who left a trail of torn bandages
records and libraries
manuscripts.
unappeased
by the upheaval
of a lavish land
and culture
now in pieces
like the people
breathing deep from the diaphragm
inhaling the past
we breath
in the present.
