They call them crocodile tears When animals muddy the waters By disturbing silt or dirt And thereby obscuring/obstructing What is otherwise a clear view. As like pouring wine into a cup of water.

Sebek, 1 Ate, Suchus; 2 Bacchus
They call them crocodile tears When animals muddy the waters By disturbing silt or dirt And thereby obscuring/obstructing What is otherwise a clear view. As like pouring wine into a cup of water.
1 - Ate, the greek god of moral blindness & error. 2 - Bacchus was a title of honor denoting a leader in all fields. I.e. Science, philosophy, poetry, music, et cetera. Similarly, as an actual leader of a given area or nation. Also, this is solely about muddying waters in regards to understanding. Understanding whoever, whatever, whenever. In reference specifically to the waters of the Nile.
