Exodus

There rose a Pharaoh once who did not know
Joseph, and he looked on Israel
And saw a foreign people. "They have no
Connection to the land, and who can tell
What mischief they will wreak?" he said "so let
Them be our slaves, and kill each boy they bear
So they will not grow larger." Thus he set
Them under him, and none were found to dare
To throw him off. Yet God heard Jacob's call,
And sent down Moses out of Midian
To with a mighty arm remove them all
From Egypt with a sky obsidian
And many other wonders. They would roam
For forty years - but then they found their home.
