Luxor Hotel: Las Vegas Poem by DM W

Luxor Hotel: Las Vegas



Monolithic black pyramid;
Fronted by a garish sphinx.
For the ancients the tip
Of the pyramid was the point
Where time touches eternity:
A symbol of transcendence.
Here it's a sign without meaning;
A glorious laser show,
Housing a dead god;
Where the prodigal sons
Sow their wild seeds
In an expenditure without reserve;
That ends in spiritual decay,
Not inner transformation.
