Parting of The Red Sea
by Nellie Shani Behind them Pharaoh's army Before them the Red Sea loomed A forlorn mother grabs her baby To all and sundry nothing but gloom Pharaoh lifted haughty eyes to see A people soon his slaves to be Motioned his army forward to proceed Enslave them again his ego to feed Jehovah Saboath on their side Always with his people to abide A man of war with sword out of sheath Like a prancing lion with bared teeth Told Moses to raise his rod They were to know who was God Red Sea parted a dry highway Israel saw a miracle that day For Pharaoh and his troops Tragedy towards them did stoop Swallowed like hungry oysters Horses chariots and officers Miriam burst out in song to the Lord Picked a tambourine and struck a chord Your right hand oh Lord was majestic in power As the surging waves stood firm like a tower Nellie Odhuno Shani is a Counselor, Conference speaker and writer.
