Is it possible
humanity's requirements
could be fulfilled
and yet the people
be sent to hell
by God's hand
Impatient
were these Pharaohs
They could not wait
for Heaven made by God
but in man's vanity
decided to make their own
They constructed
False paradises
Self made monuments
Where women were their angels
that comforted them
and riches quenched their thirst
