RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: RIVER SERIES
The Nile
The longest river on the planet
It shaped the lives of ancient Egypt
Gave birth to modern agriculture
Challenged our sense of entitlement
Cleopatra floated her royal barge
Down the waters of the River Nile
Mark Anthony and Julius Caesar
Made history for Shakespeare’s file
The granddaddy of African rivers
It feeds eleven modern nations
From Lake Victoria to the Mediterranean
It enabled an advanced civilization
Oh how we revere the River Nile
For its storied and mythical past
The river runs with an eternal force
Forever and always will it last
