Other Lives
	Once upon a distant shore					In another time and place
	As I stood gazing,					Upon the hot burning sands,
	I beheld a sight					A majectic building
	That was quite amazing.					So boldly stands.
	Before my very eyes stood					It's sides shine of gold
	A truly magnificant beast.					As they slant toward the sky.
	He was as tall as a oak,					For miles and miles
	At the very least.					There is nothing finer to the eye.
	As he lumbered down the path					Built for the abode of kings
	With a mighty roar,					Or, then again, was it?
	He seemed to say					As a sentry in the desert
	I'll be here evermore.					Over the ages will it sit.
	With his size and weight,					It's inner ways and passages
	He was truly king.					All so straight and true,
	And with his bellow,					It seems to beckon
	He would make the mountains ring.					To me and you.
	For thousands of years,					It has been speculated,
	He ruled supreme.					And many are sure;
	One and all knew,					That its inner dimensions,
	That he was tough and mean.					Can fortell the future.
	While over the ages					Never alone in the desert
	As his numbers started to decline,					It is guarded by a sphinx.
	He steadfastly declared					Enter it if you dare,
	The earth is still mine.					But watch out for the jinx.
	Although the dinosaur					The mighty pyramid stands
	Was of a mighty race,					In all its splendor and glory.
	He vanished from the earth					Treasures it may contain,
	With hardly a trace.					But certainly, it holds a story.
