Bo III

The midrash shows us God dress down his court
for singing as  both Horse, and Rider drown.
Let Moshe sing, but Heaven's own cohort
should sympathize with those who're going down.
The God of Jonah cares for Man, and Beast.
But Exodus is all about His own.
Although--among the Nations--we're the least,
to free us, He'll cast Pharaoh from his throne.

The universal creed that Amos sings
evolved long after we crossed the Red Sea
we're all His children, whoever our kings
One God unites us in fraternity.
Remember going forth! It keeps one meek.
And dwell upon it once--at least--each week.
