Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Pyramids

Back in the days of Egypt old,

We pyramids were built so that

The Pharaohs and their royal fold

Would mummy in grand habitat.

Slave labor made us come to be,

Building us up each stone by stone.

And with each death of royalty

We became more a treasure zone.

But age of modern times did bring

Grave robbers to clean us all out.

Each of us got an emptying.

The glory days were gone no doubt.

We pyramids, all mummies gone,

Now here for tourists to climb on.
