Analysis of Hieroglyphs And Petroglyphs
Hieroglyphs of joy and rave
give symbolic leanings
Pictograms carved in a cave
give bucolic meanings
Petroglyphs of war and race
give tragical leanings
Expressions carved in a face
give magical meanings
Hieroglyphs of bat and ball
give divertive leanings
Characters carved in a wall
give assertive meanings
Petroglyphs of sin and shock
give juristic leanings
Inscriptions carved in a rock
give deistic meanings
Hieroglyphs and petroglyphs
give effusive leanings
Petroglyphs and hieroglyphs
give elusive meanings
