Petosiris
Petosiris, called Ankhefenkhons, was the high priest of Thoth at Hermopolis and held various priestly degrees in the service of Sakhmet, Khnum, Amen-Re and Hathor. The son of Sishu and Nefer-renpet, he lived in the second half of the 4th century BCE under Persian rule. In his tomb inscriptions (his tomb is in the necropolis at Tuna el-Gebel) he prided himself on having restored the fortunes of the temples in which he served.
There is a pseudepigraphic onomantic text, Petosiris to Nechepso, and it is possible that the priestly Petosiris described in this article is the inspiration for the attribution of authorship.Nechepso lived in the 7th century BCE and that the text is likely 2nd century BCE.

Bedsores
by: SystematicYou cannot swallow what you've seen
See me there before you
And if I heal in time
Try not to stare too much.
Surrounded by tubes and things
This heart machine knows me well
When my lungs begin to fill up
Don't turn away in sorrow.
Cause I've known this too long
When does death follow?
I am helpless, breathless
Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow.
Roll me over when I get sick
Change my bed when I piss
Drug me up when I'm screaming
I've had way too much of this.
Cause I've known this too long
When does death follow?
I am helpless, breathless
Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow.
Put my bed down
Turn the lights down low
Won't you kill me softly?
Please delete my misery.
Cause I've known this too long
When does death follow?
I am helpless, breathless
Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow.
