Our story told, where is maat?
our deeds done, where is maat?
our love declared, where is maat?

Our price given, where is maat?
our trustworthiness assured, where is maat?
our help promised, where is maat?

Our kindness selected, where is maat?
our thoughts hidden, where is maat?
as our transgressions increase, we are always the last to know. 

For Egypt
Maat, Goddess of Truth and Justice
