The Pharaoh's Wasted Ambition

Folder: 
Thought For Food

it's an aging notion
still dusted so i guess that today it need be discussed
that you can keep your legacy alive through your shrines and blood
well..here's my thought..

i'm gonna make this short and simple
skipping over so many other basic principles
someday the sun'll run out of wax and wick for the candle
and you can cross the universe hopping stars if you can figure out how to

but sooner or later before you get away
it'll all blow up in your face
and dismissing, even, galaxies fall apart
how far do you think you'll even get?

so if you don't believe in the spirit realm, that's fine
just accept you'll soon be reduced to food for the worms

advice: stop wasting your time on this silly notion
that you're all that much more memorable
then the dangling worm hitting the ocean
off your fishing rod that is handled by your servants
you're on a string tossed out there by the universe
did this start with you wondering what it uses you as bait for?
you want to be in control of what you can't control
most unexplored notion a man could have is that of playing god
it's the pharaohs wasted ambition...
..the fleshes eternal existance

Consultation

Pharoahs made decisions based on oracles, or rather Egyptian versions of Oracles. The afterlife could not be imperiled. They had household gods. We don't have those. Darn! Cool write.
