We're All Working For The Pharoah

Pharaoh he sits in his tower of steel
The dogs of money all at his heel
Magicians cry, Oh Truth! Oh Real!
We're all working for the Pharaoh

A thousand eyes, a thousand ears
He feeds us all, he feeds our fears
Don't stir in your sleep tonight, my dears
We're all working for the Pharaoh

Egypt Land, Egypt Land
We're all living in Egypt land
Tell me, brother, don't you understand
We're all working for the Pharaoh

Hidden from the eye of chance
The men of shadow dance a dance
And we're all struck into a trance
We're all working for the Pharaoh

Idols rise into the sky
Pyramids soar, Sphinxes lie
Head of dog, Osiris eye
We're all working for the Pharaoh

I dig a ditch, I shape a stone
Another battlement for his throne
Another day on earth is flown
We're all working for the Pharaoh

Call it England, call it Spain
Egypt rules with the whip and chain
Moses free my people again!
We're all working for the Pharaoh

Pharaoh he sits in his tower of steel
Around his feet the princes kneel
Far beneath we shoulder the wheel
We're all working for the Pharaoh

I've always been intrigued by the fact that the elder Bush and some of his sons bear an obsession with Egyptology. They were booked years in advance for a gala event at the great pyramid for the millenium. Word had it that, as part of the ceremony, they were going to place a capstone at the top of the pyramid, and project the Eye of Horus onto it. The theme was the dawning of the Age of Horus. I suspect that Bush has a Pharoah complex, and revelled in it as the millenium turned.

Towards the end of the Super Bowl, I watched a short ad for some new show. For an instant, an eyebrow was projected over the round ABC logo. There it was- a subliminal depiction of the Eye of Horus. I was startled, but not surprised. A great many corporate logos are based on the eye, or the pyramid, the most conspicuous being AOL and Time Warner. This symbol garnered enough attention that it was removed from the web. They do like to see just how far they can push the envelope. Most Fortune 1000 companies have some representation of the eye or pyramid, and they often show up on TV and in advertising. Start watching for them, and see how many you can find.

What does all this mean? It means that we're all working for the Pharoah. While words speak to the concious mind, symbols speak to the subconcious mind. The symbol of the eye and pyramid are the ubiquitous symbols of slavery. The illusion of freedom in this country is now giving way to overt displays of tyranny, and yet hardly any resistance is offered. That's because the subconcious mind has been conditioned to obey. There's far more to it than just these symbols, of course, but they do work to great effect. And now, we've come so far that Bush has decided that he can legally kill suspected terrorists on American soil. Let's see now, they can spy on people, round them up, torture them, and kill them, and it's all been made legal. And, is anyone on YOUR street up in arms about it? I didn't think so.
