There's intelligence, and then there's wisdom.
But you're not a fool, you're not a victim.
These two fellows, a twisted pair,
They're bound in hope, do not despair.

Around six-thousand years ago,
I gave you symbols, let you grow.
Hairless monkeys spinning cloth,
Know you now, my name is Thoth.

I married sign, I married sound.
You took the gift, it was unbound.
The symbols grew, became profound.
They traveled far, should I expound?

And in this pattern recognition:
Intelligence, and true cognition.

Beginning with Osiris,
I taught him resurrection.
When Jesus Christ was aimless,
I taught him persecution.

Wisdom, that.

But now it's different,
It's two-thousand.
This humble merchant,
Brings more than bargained.

I'm coming back for you, Osiris.

And I'm not bringing language.
Thoth 2K (this poem goes with my painting of the same name).
