MOSES

When Moses said to "Let my people go,"

it was fairly unnecessary.

He was already free

and was capable of taking his folk

off with him

as quickly as they desired to go.

It was not a matter of the Pharaoh allowing departure

as the slaves having the will

to unshackle themselves

to choose to be unchained

and go off into the dessert.

It had little to do with Pharaoh

and everything to do with Moses.

"Let me go."
