Part My Red Sea

Oh Moses, part my red sea; let us go... 
Far away from home; where is thy straight rod? 
Don't just roam around the shore with ego, 
Slam the sea with pleasing anger, don't nod. 

I prefer a painful freedom for real
Yes, more than a pleasurable bondage-
Like a citizen by birth without meal;
Quiet in pain than a daring slave in cage. 

Part it, walk on its dry land oh Moses, 
Bathe your rod's joy though, forget not Aaron... 
Teach him to your best knowledge the basis;
Feel free, cross to other side cum charon... 

Even when Aaron leads on to the land, 
I won't forget the rod to part firsthand.
