21st Century Glass Pyramid
What is this that I see,
magnificently big and offering glee,
black glass shining in our eyes,
the new pyramid shopping spree.
This is the Grand Luxor,
where the world wants to go,
forget the ones in Egypt,
and also the ones in Mexico.
It takes your breath away,
both in the day and the night,
it is here to help you stay,
to help you live a Vegas life.
The biggest achievements of the human race,
copied awesomely for the new age world,
the old brick ones were to please the gods,
and this one exists to please the cash box.
4,407 rooms for you, them and me,
to enjoy, gamble, and drink vodka lychee.
There is enough space for the entire family,
take pictures, and relax in the A/C.
The sun wants to burn, so we run inside,
into the glass urn, for the clouds to be nice,
we have no reservations, and no memory,
came here to worship, not your god but money.
We will tell others about you,
so that they will marvel at your sight,
They will stay and they will gamble,
and offer money as the sacrifice.

wow! kimbala!
Awesome poem! and photo! (excluding the branding). A more fluid poem!. Try to write one a day even if not published anywhere. At least that’s what Ezra Pound did! I love exclamation marks today it seems!!!. !
simply marvelous
Rmilana, shaulu! Myu Kimbala! Thank you
