Egypt BC

in this corner
where god hides his eyes
and the lone ones howl, man

is made in his likeness
with two hands and
a dozen hours

is named
He Shall See What
He Shall Choose to See

he who reads hearts not mouths
loves peace not war, loves
more than he hates

but from a faraway land
so he may return one day
seeking forgiveness

Pharaoh mocks Moses
holding seventy million strong
says we shall see
