second thoughts

* second thoughts *
Oh Moses what did you think
When your God chose
Seven plagues on Egypt to inflict
Did you plead for another way
Before an altar pray
Why the need to give such pain
Couldn't you just pack up and go
This God seed signs and dreams
Stating let my people go
Instead Egyptians tortured
Rivers running red with blood
Locusts consuming crops
First born children slain
Not a God with which to trifle
Such an imaginative and fierce deity
Did you not harbour second thoughts
If being people chosen was so great
Though I guess kept such thoughts to yourself
To avoid his omnipotent wrath.
