The Pyramist

Was I a conscript, slave, an employee, or a mere citizen?
not to matter the glory was constructed
for the benefit of the culture
for what benefits the god-king benefits all beneath him
and we might have something when we die
if he prospers in heaven
what we have here is labor
but not once the great rock nothing is finished
and closed up to the eternities
then the courageously irreligious of us climb the incline in the night
we know our way in because we created the way in
and closed it off to the true believers
we are the middle class
and whatever we can get away with is ours
the rest is left for tourists
four thousand years from now
when all our gods and wars and misery and thievery
are tourism only
