ancient Egypt had slave vices
ruling elite decadent lifestyles
loved fine wines high fashions
sex partying pyramid privileges
women enjoyed an ancient world
unusual equality among hierarchy
free to divorce on grounds adultery
problems bit over divided property
civilizations are cursed with crime robbery
death homicides plagued not Egyptian society
justice was esteemed balance against chaos
when justice is not upheld civilization is lost
Learn reaffirm Wisdom of Ancient Egypt
vizier judges pharaoh appointed to uphold laws
were instructed holy divine justice not to forget
an abomination to gods was showing partiality
Old Kingdom tradition stress is firm placed
on duty service to the weak or the oppressed
this was sage time honoured teaching ancient
administrators all bound to act accordingly
Pharaoh commanded vizier in his audience hall
laid upon him charge 'Look to the office of vizier;
be watchful over all that is done therein. Behold,
it is the established support of the whole land.'
'Behold, as for the vizierate, it is not sweet;
behold, it is bitter, as he is named (all know him)
Behold, he is copper enclosing the gold of his lord's
house. Behold, the vizierate is not to show respect
of persons to princes and councilors;
it is not to make for himself slaves of any people...'
'Look upon him who is known to you
like him who is unknown to you;
and him who is near the king like him
who is far from his house. Behold,
a prince who does this,
he shall endure here in this place.'
wow to an electronic age which gives
corporate princes impunity from laws
where politicians serve greed themselves
where justice is not found for all peoples
this is curse under illuminati shadow powers
enslavement of masses under new world order!
