Long ago,
Many years before the oceans acidified and in an age when the great waters teemed with life,
The King made a sacred promise
and
Bound himself by solemn oath.
Challenging the curse,
The Great King,
Entered into covenant,
With Abraham and his descendants
And blessed them to be a blessing.
Challenging the curse
The Great King,
Promised presence and proximity
To Abraham and his descendants
And blessing to the scattered nations.
But alas,
The sacred tribe,
Is trapped and tested,
In the Empire of Egypt,
Slaves to systems and structures of domination.
Years went by.
All seemed silent
Will the great King remember his sacred promise?
Years went by,
All seemed silent,
How long will the Empire of Egypt & desires of domination enact injustice?
Then,
The great king heard their cries,
remembered his promise,
and moved and acted .
Love spoke,
Hope sang,
And the Great King
Embarked on a rescue mission
to liberate his covenant people.
To him be all praise and glory.
