by Daniel Abdal-Hayy Moore
As Moses cast his staff down
so the masses are casting theirs
and their transformed and transformative
multi-million-strong serpent is swallowing
those vain wrigglings of the Pharaoh’s
police-state magicians now made
useless by the greater heartfelt
uncoiling masses of
God-sent Moses
all peace and success
be upon him (and them)
and each of his prophetic lights now
shining across every Pharaonic
tyrant’s face
