Estuary

Fertile river valleys

Cut through the burning desert sands

Men gather into cities

On the path that these sacred rivers ran

Together man and water

Cultivate their still born lands

From the river's source

Flows the water of the high grounds

Water gathers force

Increasing volume and momentum

Like men they amass

Carving life into the sand dunes

Rivers meet the sea

Human population grew

Someone has to organize this

Growing savage tribe

Men to run the cities

With plans that they've devised

Builder of the walls

Maker of the laws

Leader of the wars

Back inside his guarded palace

Ruler over all
