Temple officials have the land
They made it great, but now they let it
fall, into pieces of their own; my friends
are way too expensive friends
Out of caution father gave me
away after my nursing years
to Egypt, the temple in the delta
and when the dynasty seemed lost
because the Ethiopians advanced
the priests thought they were smart
in appointing me as the army commander
But I took the sacred birds
with me in baskets, in the desert
they bit the vipers at our feet to death
We surprised the enemy in his sleep
hit him in its naked flanks
and have won; the temple
cobras arise again
