2560 BC.
West of the Nile.
The triplets stand tall. 
Ancient World’s oldest wonder.
Stretching over 218,000 square feet.
Rock, concrete, and limestone wearing away. 
Scraps shaped to dignify Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. 
Scorching sun gleams along the walls of the all-famous Great. 
Climbing at a colossal height; four hundred eighty-one feet of history.
The Great wrapped with four ambiguous concave walls; unknown to many. 
The three powers come together to align with the mighty constellation, Orion.
Egypt’s culture depicted by the three monumental, prominent Pyramids of Giza.
