The Story of Egypt

By: Jihan D. Llames 1st year Section I

As the river flows peacefully

Fate indeed makes it way

Sorrowful cries can be heard

Helping that son know his history

Just a few distance from the bank

It was something he never expected

The reaper walking slowly down the road

Doubtful but still believable

A contact of the deadly hand upon every door

And new set of eyes was opened

Farewell to the first child born

Change was making its way
Above all the chaos

Decision between the past and present

One can hear desperate voice

Because of the call of the burning bush

Come here, come here

That son became the savior of the people

The river is the answer

Brotherly bond was tested

A step towards salvation

Battle between black and white
That baby that goes with the flow

Trickery and faith were tested

Carrying with it a hope of life

Chaos started everywhere

Farewell to ruthless death

That man who encountered the bush

Salvation was indeed given

Fighting for the salvation of his people

As the queen lifted him from the water

Indeed, the white prevails
Time is indeed unstoppable

The parting into two of the sea

Growing up in a luxurious life

A hope of a new life was given

Unknown to him is his horrible past

Say goodbye to oppression

Under the riches he enjoys

My people and My God together in paradise

The past cries of people can still be heard
