The Great Desert Wonder

Cold and sandy night it was

The young men kept working in rain, hail, and floods

To finish their pyramids was the goal,

For the king known as Khufu to all

To be known by everyone throughout the world
Thousands of peasants Khufu had to work and many of them hurled
Block by block each peasant drew
Pushing thousands of pounds block by block threw and threw
this pyramid for Khufu is to honor Ra.

There were many problems faced as they moved on throughout the days in the sandy rocks
Each person had a role and each person contributed in groups of flocks
Because they wanted to work their way up the king’s list and not fall
So, that from the bottom they were nothing in Khufu’s eyes at all

Each slave had a thought moving block by block
They all thought alike in wanting to know what destiny was like in a shot
By chance or fate they all were there to build a destined pyramid of honor
So one day when completed the king would be glad, so he would not be a goner

While the pyramid’s tough skin was worked up through its unbiased form it ensconced their
Each day was tedious for all and not so very fair
Although they were pushing through the hot sandy desert to accomplish their single goal
The peasants moved like weights to accomplish it in a swift stroll
Many died and many starved as they built this great pyramid

They moved from to time as the Nile flooded and drowned their homes as they tried not to fall
This made it slow to build the greatest pyramid of all
As they weren’t in their houses they paid taxes so that they would get it done quicker
How it was built is truly a mystery but took a good twenty years of action and a bit of bicker

Though now we know that these pyramids were built block by block
As thousands of peasants fate to be killed with an almighty rock
Khufu was honored with gold and statues as he died and was buried in his tomb
He was to preserve him as he waited for the arrival of Ra the God of him in his benevolent room
