stone upon stone
sweat of slaves in the desert
year upon year
the precision of
pyramids to encapsule
bones and dust
dust
sweat
for miles
the sun shines
directly on them
these labouring men pity of
wives and children hungry for a little daily bread
their product the fancy of pharaohs future generations easy to inherit

Carpe Diem #790 The Great Pyramid of Giza
secrets
hidden inside
now outside
sun
moon
star light
the breeze
this summer morning
birds singing their beautiful songs -
young sparrows playing hide and seek in the dry sand of the garden
