It Is Time
It’s time for the end of days to cry out
and pour the Nile onto this page and this dynasty
Time for the flood that crushed our houses
to rise up and reach for the top
to rip out this fragile footing
and wash the wrongs from the land
It’s time for the waters to turn this world into an ocean
for the world to bring forth fear among us
for the many tired hands to embrace
and the earth to bear another elation.
