Sobek
Ferocious and fearsome, slithering out of the Nile,
out of the waters of chaos to create the world.
Basking on the banks, sharp teeth in grinning smile -
Sobek.
Revere him, worship him and try to appease
the crocodile keeper of the Nile and its seasons.
Place jewels and flowers on his head and please -
Sobek.
Venerated predator of the Nile, in water a swifter killer.
And when he passes to the world beyond our own
Mummify him in sarcophagus and his name upon the pillar –
Sobek
