Akhenaten: Phoenix

You did see corruption all around the temples;
You tried to set up a new egyptian dynasty.

But you had to learn the rough way,
that priesthood is a dangerous caste.

Later on as Moses with his Only God,
you became a fanatic leader.

Now you know that there is no God,
nor Devil: Only luminous awareness.

That is the real Aten;
neither within nor without.

You paid your debt with your past;
now wake up from the ashes,
and fly as a Phoenix.
