Poetry
The first commandment
written on the tablets
carried from the mountain
by Moses of old,
“You shall have no other gods before me”,
timeless, unending, the test of our loyalty
the faith of the people, devoted to God
In their time, in that place
far from the temple
the city, the people
united as one
But there in that wilderness
before the craven idol
before the king demanding to be god
Refusing to bow, to deny the creator
honoring the words written so long ago
Prepared to be burned, to submit to the furnace
entering in, faithful to God
