Anubis

I think that Anubis is probably the better title for this poem. It was our 2nd choice. We are considering the other changes you have suggested. I wanted to keep the syllables in sync, which is why they were put that way, but we may be able to work it out. This poem was written as a prayer from the deceased. The Ba is the personality of him, which is what enters the after-life. The Ka is the body that was to remain in the tomb. [Which is why there were all sorts of food, tools of his trade, and comforts of his life.] The Ba will remain with the Ka if denied entrance to the after-life. [Hence the refrence: "The tomb is not for me."] I have not been to Egypt or anywhere outside the U.S.A.[ other than Canada] but have always been interested in the culture. I have read all that I have been able to find on Egypt, and all the variations and transformations that the funerary of them have undergone. I also have a tattoo of "Anubis". I know that he is a jackel rather than a dog, but it is close. I think the distinction is moot. I feel that dogs can judge a heart, and instinctivly know a bad person from good. Thank you for the kind comments, Jason is very pleased that it has been so well recieved by my Queen. Your camel riding knight, Sir Gee.
