And all of humanity knows it.

Motivating Moses

When Moses parted the waters
The mud squished up to his garters
So a crocodile said,
"If you'd rather be dead
Then guess where I'll chomp for starters!"

Premium Member Moses Was Already 81, You Know

      Moses was a senior, quite an old man
      God said: “OK, do the best you can"
        He raised his rod, split the sea
        Just when he had to go pee
      "Who do you think I am, God ~ Superman?"

Premium Member Holy Moses

There once lived a sage prophet named Moses

   Who struggled forty years guiding noses

      Seems the Israelites defied

         Most everything he tried

            Leading that mob was no bed of roses

The Cane of Moses

Your hair is God's wheat farm. Your eyes the heaven's fountain.
Your hands the warmest warm. Your height the highest mountain.
Your lips are gardens of roses. Your nose is the cane of Moses.
   The phoenix without wings

Premium Member Raising the Moses

The Egyptian princesses were bored
Before they found Moses
But delighted by him almost immediately
He changed their lives in the most extraordinary ways
They became selfless and giving
Having no idea they were raising THE Moses

Premium Member Moses a Former Stripper

I have experience as burlesque hyper
Like good policeman Chippendale stripers
    A smile on my face
    Bare in public place
In church Sundays… mama changed my diapers!

Premium Member life of Moses

Moses' mother wanted to save him, so she hid him out
Pharoah’s daughter discovered him and gave a shout
His sister suggested his mother as wet nurse,
He grew to be a leader, seen in many a Bible Verse
Parting the Red Sea must have given those soldiers a curse.

Buddha and Moses

Buddha and Moses 
     had a conversation 
They discussed poetry 
     and politics 
  The debate continued 
long into the night 
Buddha liked to write in form - Moses didn't 
They are both gone from the earth now 
   But the world was changed by those two 
FOREVER!

Moses

Little boy blue
how I love you, 
crawling round my floor, 
smiling thru my back door.

I love you my little boy, 
always smiling and loving me, 
I'm loving you too,
Oh so thru and thru.

Little boy blue
how I love you.
Sitting on the floor
looking up at me.
Just smiling.

Moses Walked

You can’t think your way to faith,
all reason unadorned

Or speak to what is felt inside,
self-knowledge most forlorn

For those invested time must bow,
a legion unto one

As seas will part and bushes burn
—in rapture’s kingdom come

(First Book Of Prayers: December, 2021)

Walking With Moses

Bridges and rivers always prevail
overcoat and undercover
Walking barefooted with Moses
A summoning whirl of gust
Going around my head
The pylons are humming
they've reached their limit
Songs sang sanquently
Time knows no limit
Fire upon Fire
Ash amongst toil
The guise is over
until eternity

God Himself wiped out some Jews.' Moses
Called it.' Before  and God carried it through.'

Each minute from the earth, He does many divest.' Its in Numbers sixteen if you care to
Read? Verses thirty one through to thirty three, educate your self.. Let your Conciousness have a feed.'

The Rod of Moses

The red sea surface before me
Deep valley at my sides
My pharaoh case after me
Oh! Where is my Moses

I have suffered in Egypt
Promised Land still far away
My pharaoh has no mercy
Oh! God where is my rod

I heard the sound of horses
Galloping fast to stop my vision
The ultimate voice showed me the rod
Today, the rod of Moses brought me out of Egypt

Go Down Moses

I had a song on my heart for a while I could not described the feel the emotion
Of a tone take from favorable to last supper what it mean of such love
Humanity don of time next saw the 
Don of century seeing to reading I 
Understanding the meaning of music
But this song on my heart it means the 
World to hear it once again how does it go once more.

Premium Member Concrete Moses

He's a blue-collar artist supreme.
With a medium of drywall and wet concrete.
He was laid off when Build Back Better lost its gloss.
He occasionally does side jobs... tax-free.
The beard is unkempt; he flashes a tattooed head.
He's donning a third-trimester belly. 
That he calls Johnny Walker Red. 
It's going to be some time until his next masterpiece.

The Abandoned Child’s Complaint
by Michael R. Burch

I hoped you might have loved me,
but you pushed me out to sea
   like Moses, for some other
   strange Egyptian mother:
Isis, Nefertiti.

33 Reasons

I have 33 reasons
      Why I won’t go home.
   I am a loyalist
                    Tortured by iniquity
          Captive of antiquity
But the snake inside me
      Is unfolding its fibers of cypress
      And the water is thicker than blood
                                   I have 33 reasons
                                         Why I wont go home.

Moses Mosey

Have the light in the small
take hands accross hate
smelling of self,
realizing the big picture real
we really are beyond us,
dwarfing ego to the all
systems go on around us.
We are a part not wholly aware
but big truths can be learned,
drumming in our beyonds,
So our behinds don't fall
into abyss full self
we make our lives not part.
Apart the sea.
Rise.

Premium Member Rip Little Moses

Rest in peace little Moses, 
your job here is done.
In birdie years 
you had a good run.

Fly up to the heavens, 
free and with joy.
I'll miss your sweet song
my lovely, wee boy.

A joy you had been 
for many a year
and I'll miss you my friend,
a pet, oh so dear.

Goodbye little Moses, 
may God give you wing
to fly through the heavens 
and with angels sing.

The Moses Toe

Pricklescoff sits at a Moses Toe
where two rivers meet
where two rivers flow
with one from his left 
and one from his right
as he, a troll, sits at the point
where two rivers meet
on into the night
and see all the fish
stickleback, minnow
swim as he sits
at the Moses Toe



Based on the novella Where Two Rivers Meet, A Dark Romance Fantasy by Clive Culverhouse

Moses

MOSES HAD SIN.
GOD HAD TO COVER HIM.
BUT WERE ALREADY COVERED BY CHRIST HOLY BLOOD.
THAT BRINGS US INTO ,THE PRESENCE  OF GOD.
JUST LIKE MOSES DID.
BUT THROUGH CHRIST HOLY BLOOD.
THROUGH CHRIST HOLY BLOOD.

WE CAN COME INTO HIS HOLY PRESENCE.
JUST LIKE MOSES DID.
JUST LIKE MOSES DID.
GOD HAD TO COVER MOSES.
HE COULD NOT  LOOK ON SIN.
WE"RE ALREADY COVERED .
BY CHRIST HOLY BLOOD.

Premium Member Moses

Moses led the Israelites up out of Egypt through the desert to the Promised Land.

   He hesitated but God roared, "Mo, you the man!" placing a magic staff in his hand!

So Moses with resolute stride led the rowdy bunch to the land of milk and honey,

   Muttering to himself, "Danged if I'll ever do this again for any amount of money!"

Freedom In Exile/Why Moses Wandered 40 Years In the Desert

To write from silence,
Merton's spoken silence--
True mind, free mind,
No-mind,
Land mine.

Dangerous territory
Errupts as the
Tenants of self get sucked into
The crevasse of freedom.

Like Moses sending the
Ten Commandment tablets
Crashing into the trouble makers' midst--
The ground opened,
The ground swallowed up
As Mother Earth took back her own.
Forty years of freedom in exile followed.
