[ NaPo 2017 ] Creep

    
Angel of Death creeps  
through the house of Pharaoh  
   
Nefreteri weeps  
over her firstborn  
only child in woe  
   
Her jealousy and anguish  
further hardening husband's  
cold as stone heart  
   
Ramses on his knees  
begs Moses to, Go!    
Depart!
from Egypt!  
Take your pestilence, disease  
and child murdering god    
with you far from here!  
   
The Deliverer gathers up his flock  
who follow him into the desert  
to continue their suffering year  
after year  
   
And I have to ask myself  
Who was the real creep
in this drama?
