Seth and Horus


Horus- overachiever and academic

Got into his favorite college for his brain and athletics.

His uncle Seth- a failure and basement dweller

Lived in his brother’s house and drained the beer cellar.

 

Seth was jealous of Horus

 And his certificates of papyrus.

That he approached the poor boy

Ungrateful and annoyed. 

 

Seth whined and threatened him

Pestered him for being young and slim.

His brother Osiris was not kind nor happy

And banished him for being harmful and nasty.

 

Seth, power hungry and petty

Wished to have the wealth they had already.

He devised a plan to steal their riches

For a new life, power and britches.

 

He tried to steal from their giant safe

But Horus stopped him before it was too late.

Seth ended up going to jail,

Cursing his family and having no bail.

 

He looked at Osiris’s legacy

Horus inheriting power and luxuries.

He started blaming the “establishment”

All while receiving a hefty punishment.
