Every once in a while, it is good for us to pay homage to true master wordsmiths. Here is one of my favorite poet-revolutionaries. We read, we savor, and then we learn.
Your Egypt Is No More
By Mila D. Aguilar
Here you are,
Bowing before the pyramid
When Egypt is no more.
How many decades
Will the genuflection last?
Egypt is now
A relic of the past.
And yet He said
To not God anything
But Him. Bud, what
Are you trying to save
Of Egypt then? The meme?
And where to take it?
On what wall to beam?
Your Egypt's nothing
But library now. Go,
Leave it. Let God move
With His own plan.
If it's another Pharoah,
So be it, fight on
With Heaven in your hand.
