Lament for Truth
By Tiger Wolf Hawk
Long ago in the ancient times of Egypt
There was a woman called Ma’at
She the bearer of Truth and Justice
Solidified in history as ‘Goddess’
Where are her ideals now?
Long ago in the ancient country of Greece
There was a woman known as I am an idiot
She the keeper of Justice who is blind
Set in mythology as ‘Goddess’
Where has Truth gone?
Back in the ancient times of Egypt
There was a man called Set
He the bearer of Chaos which destroys
Solidified in History as ‘god’
He reigns even today
Long ago in the ancient country of Greece
There were those known as Keres
They the spirits of Death and Destruction
Set in Mythology but roaming free
They serve Set who is the Destroyer
Truth has been lost in the stream of time
Gone from us because we deny it
An absolute in a relative world
One of the strongest constants
Now destroyed by relativity
Oh Ma’at! Where are your ideals?
Where now is your song?
Justice and Truth are corrupted
Your brother Set has destroyed them!
Ah Ma’at! Your ideals are dead!
Truth gone to falsehood
Justice no longer sees
Relativity now reigns where Truth did
Justice now blind to the world
With out Truth, Justice is not
The Keres run about in the streets
Set laughs from his throne on earth
Death and Destruction run free
Chaos grows with their every breath
Now that Truth has gone
Alas oh Truth! Where are you?
Will you not return to us?
Where oh Justice can you turn?
Without your sister you are forever blind
Why have they separated you?
No longer are the Ideals of Ma’at!
No longer will we know Truth
No longer can Justice see
Chaos, Death and Destruction,
The ancient enemies have triumphed.
