correct were they to deify
the fiery orb -
impartial its rays
that warm
the living, the dead
and the inconsequential
the earth bathes daily
in (its) fluid warmth -
all manner of
diversity sprouts
in alchemical wonder
as rays become
trees,
grasses and all manner
of life
Ra,
the progenitor,
giver of life
arcing across the
(conquered) sky
without peer
or challenge
lord of life,
emulated, imitated
by pretenders
solar deities
that die and are reborn
as the sun
in heaven and hell
the fiery phallus
of gold
that birthed
Horus,
the Father reborn
as the
circular Son
how many pretenders
have failed to usurp
the solitary lord
of the sky?
