Exodus
A People, faces pressed into the sand.
They cry and cry,” God please just make this end.”
A Pharaoh, sandals propped upon their backs.
They’re starving as they build his monuments.
A Promise, He will set them free.
LORD will break this bondage of misery.
A Prince, floating in a basket.
Raised by those he’d soon surpass.
A Conflict, the Prince saw too much pain.
Eyes couldn’t stand to watch the fucking suffering.
A Murder, the Prince can’t escape the blood.
He runs to hide, forgetting his people, and starting a new life.
A Sheppard, days had turned to years.
He’s forgotten the faces of those whom he’d held dear.
A Voice, a burning bush calls to him.
LORD commanded him to free His children.
A Pharaoh, proud of his temples.
He denies the Sheppard his People.
A Plague, a series, brings the land down to their knees.
The blood of a lamb has spared this people.
A Sea, standing in the path.
The People, wanting to turn back.
A Hand, raised above the water.
A Sea, it reveals dry land.
A Pharaoh, in a fucking rage.
An Army, in a watery grave.
A People, they give shouts of praise.
A Sheppard, up a mount of flames.
A People, they just couldn’t wait.
A Brother, his many pleas won’t resonate.
A People, melting down their jewels.
An Idol, corrupting wicked fools.
A Sheppard, descends from the mount.
A People, have defiled themselves.
An Idol, shattered dust and gold.
A Tablet, broken law not followed.
A Sheppard, cries before this People.
A Prince, cries before this People.
A Servant, cries before this People.
LORD, cries over this People.
Sin, preys upon this People.
Sin, preys upon our people.
Sin, preys upon a person.
Sin, preys upon us all, friend.
(This one’s for you, Löwe. I really hope you don’t take offense to it. I don’t have an Anti-Semitic bone in me. I actually have a very deep love for the People. I thought you show know that, and I thought this would be a sincere way to show it. I figured this would mean a bit more to you than anyone else I’ve met here. It’s meant to be a thing of connection. We’re all totally fucked. 🫠)
