Pharoahs Ain't Shit

the Pharoahs are shitting themselves now
shut down the networks and they can't call the aliens for help
the kids that built the Pyramids are listening to rock'n'roll
the kids threw up the honey beer and slipped into hoodies
stepped out onto asphalt to answer the Sphynx's riddle
with rocks
and fire
and bodies
the kids aren't bowing to the whip
the kids are fucking shit up
about to prove there's no such thing as immortality
the kids are ripping brains and guts out of the Great Corpse
hoping to stuff flowers and spices in their place
the kids are staying up all night, breaking curfew
about to bury a ruler
with no more ritual than clapping hands
and dancing feet


...
just a brief, far-away perspective on the ruckus in Egypt.
