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..
