OSIRIS
Who is this being?
One killed by his
Own kin, brother
Same flesh & blood
That past, a dark cloud
Later saved by his sister
Now watches over. Osiris,
The powerful being...
O, say I can stare death
In it’s face with no fear
For he rules over it—
Nothing to worry about
Little children, & my dear
I have abundant faith
In him, the one who
Rules over the dead
Ever loving and true..
Please, pass the mead~
*takes a sip*
Right, where was I?
*smiles*
With him I am certain
That I shall face no harm
In this life or the next
Osiris is the very best
Has such a mighty arm
To shield me from the rain
I can go for hours
Singing praise of him
Or dance every second
On his path there’s no bend
The only thing I dream
Of is pleasing Osiris.
Living and breathing
To work hard daily
In order to receive blessings.
