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.

Location: Luxor Las Vegas, 3900 S. Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89119.

History: This was taken near the main entrance of the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas. The hotel and casino is designed like a pyramid and named after the Egyptian city of Luxor, which houses the ancient Luxor Temple.

They drink the coffee, or they go mad,
coffee gives them life, otherwise they’re sad,
they sip the liquid, and then they’re glad,
they want it now, to live life on a drinking fad.

“You don’t know your coffee?“, they ask me surprised,
“I can have my own coffee?“, I ask them back, surprised,
depend on a liquid they do, to fight their demise,
if i don’t drink coffee, they throw at me some spites.

Leave me be, coffee people, I will drink when I want,
Coffee people can keep forcing others to be zombies over obligatory taunts,
I want to enjoy this when I want, not as your obligatory depending cult,
there is no Z in coffee, so you can keep dreaming “but!”
