Every story
Tale of memoir
Every saga or romance
Whether true
Or fabricated
Whether planned
Or happenstance
Whether sweeping through the ages
Casting centuries aside
Or a hurried brief recital
Just a thirty minute ride
Whether bright or
Melancholy
Rough and ready
Finely spun
Whether with a thousand players
Or a lonely cast of one
Every story
New or ancient
Bagatelle or work of art
All are tales of human failing
All are tales of love at heart
This is the story of a love that flourished in a time of hate
Of lovers no tyranny could separate
Love set into motion on the Nile's shore
Destiny ignited
By an act of war
Egypt saw the mighty river
As its very heart and soul
Source of life for all the people
That only Egypt could control
Destruction of a southern neighbor
Justified
Nubia exploited
Left with little more than pride
Woahhh
