(in answer to C. M. van den Heever)
As a mighty hunter of man
he and his seductive pretty wife
did view themselves as the equals of God
and their fame was almost boundless
where Nimrod did even God and His covenants curse
when he, the son of Ham, did build a gigantic tower
while he did distrust the intentions of the Lord God
and to law and fulfilment was every strange wish
where the father, mother and son was worshiped
when Horus, Isis, Seth did get stature
where their kingdom streched right across Mesopotamia,
and different languages from God did curtail them
but in Egypt those gods did still remain
when the heathendom streched over a part of the earth.
