It would be nice to see the original Mdu Ntr along side the translation.

If it was written in Mtau Ntr, why does it rhyme in English?

Mdu Ntr = Mother Nature. I says.

^ LOL Anyway, I agree it would be better if the poem was presented with the original Mdu-Neter (Egyptian script) source. It's possible the reason why it rhymes was that the author happened to make it that way during translation but for every line to rhyme like that would be a great feat.
