In Numbers 16, Moses quashes dissent
by murdering all his opponents.
He said, “God did it. Well ... didn't forbid it",
murmuring that at some future date he'd make an attempt at atonement.”
There was this land of milk and honey,
inhabited, but godforsaken.
“Hey, Moish,” said YHWH, “listen up, Sonny,
yours for the takin’, fuhgeddaboud bacon.”
“Whoever’s not with me’s against me."
Or is it the other way round?
Problem of speaking in parables being,
it mayn't be true, but it sounds pretty.
Slavery IS in the Bible.
Therefore, it must be okay
with God. And furthermore,
would not it be odd
for a good Christian
to say do away with it?
Slaves on the bill
was ever God's will
and one has to reckon
She feels that way still.
