Pyramid Scheme Great Reward
If this here deep inside the depth
of the Great Pyramid was in fact
meant to be
A burial chamber for the felled
Pharaoh King himself
To ascent and assimilate his procession
and onward journey into the afterlife
And this his marble granite sarcophagus
Then pray let me me in silent contemplation
for a given time inside reside and lay in
waiting if only just for him
And listen out for the echo sounds
rebounding back to and from the afterlife
Regaling tales of enlightenment the such
as like
What indeed a star does actually sounds like
Or how long we are supposed to be dead
before we are born again
If in fact we are to be at all or secrets
Orion keeps hidden underneath his belt
Or if he actually has 3 sisters
Or why on earth was he himself indeed
deemed to be birthed and born as
a King
Yet I and countless serfs where meant
to kneel before his feet
And most pressing of all
Do we who's manual labor sweat and toil
both needed and used
In order to construct this monument
and so to apply it's manifest
Eventually get some great reward for
doing so ourselves
Grace a tomb entwined with walls
endowed with multi colored dispensary
by the greatest artists of the day
And an infinite supply of all earthly worldly
good's and treasure to accompany me
More gold than Midas himself had at his
disposal to mine or anything other than
I was able to own let alone dare wish
ever possess
Or are we so too as well too be ignored
and passed over in the afterlife as in
this life too
