Moses

One of my more Biblical poems..

Stammerer, Prince of Egypt, and Jethro's shepherd,
How was the long sojourn in the wild?
You were once floating down the Nile,
Now, you are Sinai's child,
With nothing, but a worn, twisted staff by your side.
Forty years of wander,
Forty years of scorn,
In the horizon is the promised land,
But alone, on Mount Nebo, you stand,
With your love, tattered and torn.
Canaan is but a dream,
Wake up, my Prince, and let out a scream.
