Flail and Crook

Flail and Crook

A Poem by Bo Lanier

For all of you who has ever said

You loved me then broke my heart

May you succumb to the most?

Awful Egyptian curse

May Hathor cause you great pain?

And shame from this day forward

Until the Pyramids turn to dust and

The Nile River runs backwards well

May it be recorded now and forever?

In the book of the dead in prolific

Detail by the seal of Osiris I'm not

Singling any one person out but

You know who you are and so does

Isis as the all seeing eye of the

Falcon is upon you in the shadow

Of Horus call me bitter if you want

But all I ever did was love you!

Go on now and laugh at what I say

But I will have the last laugh just

Wait and see 'cuz you are no better

Than me....don't you know I come?

From the ancient Khnum Dynasty

And so when Ma’am weighs your

Heart against a feather I hope you

Suffer the worse Egyptian curse

Until the Nile river runs backwards

Until all the Pyramids crumble and

Turn to dust, until I toss away my

Flail And Crook out to sea...

So mote it be!
