Egypt has some fascinating legends from long ago. Some get slightly retold as time goes on.
Set's Blinding of Horus by Michael Doyle Few know the whole of the story A tale needed in all of its glory In a time before history began Egypt is where the gods lived with man All was as if a sort of paradise Out beneath the desert skies Even the promise of their lesser creation Who in their worship were promised salvation Able to manifest every sort of transformation These gods become beasts to rule this nation Osiris sat as the king of the Nile's life While Set, in isolation ruled in bitter strife Until the time came for Horus to take the throne While Set believed earnestly this was his own Testing the entirety of the Egyptian nation The wrath of Set was wrought in its black negation Still, the gods did not alone chase after destiny Mankind was also determining the world's history Violent and foolish in every sense of detail But in every way as much a part of this tale Never doubt that the gods are lesser than love Or, that the fight for love is the one thing of Even the gods in their glory shake and tremble Knowing that their own hearts are less than nimble Many gods were immersed in their vain story Singing songs and raising toasts in self glory There are after all, those bad reputations to keep So, it is rumored the willows grudgingly weep Tokens of gratitude from the least to the great An the poor each shall struggle against this fate Fighting for and against the truest wealth and legacy That all are part of a just god's vast family There at the coronation, the great Horus did bow down To accept the fullest weight of his father's crown That is, before Set in his darkness slayed Osiris So says the legend written on reedy papyrus On this day of darkness, peace was surrendered For the cause of lesser things to be tendered Ensuing in nobility's righteous attempt to fight Against Set of the black and most unholy night (c) March 24, 2020 Michael Doyle All Rights Reserved
