A New Moses Poem by Saju Abraham

Time for a new moses draws nearer
The golden calf in its place
The band has set up the piece
The worshipers throng the altar
Moses, Moses! Come take your position
Put on the mantle and own the baton

The kings have deputed their men
All kings’ men seated round the table
Putting in place the pieces of puzzle
The battle for the planets set in motion
God has a tough task in front
Choice of a moses who can act

World now a battlefield strewn with bodies
Hands heavenward in horror
The victors dividing their booty
The tinkle of coins thrills their ears
And the shine of gold dazzles their eyes
Come take your place, Moses, Moses!
