~Sonnet: The Last Plague

(Modern English Sonnet)





And the Lord said to Moses that day

That He'd bring onto Egypt one more plague

After this Pharaoh will let go, open cage

He'll drive you out from land for'ver I say



Tell people that all men and women

Are to ask from all their neighbors today

Anything they have of silver, gold.He,

Moses said:This is what the Lord says then:



Around midnight throughout all Egypt I'll go

And every firstborn son of Egypt will die

From firstborn of Pharaoh, to slave's son

And firstborn of cattle, will die you know



All through the land will be a loud wailing

Worse than there has been or ever I'll bring
