The Exodus

One of the best ways to know the Exodus was real
Is that it was almost unilaterally resisted
By the people. Any man writing fiction
Who wished to indoctrinate and make servile
His audience, wouldn't have included a critical story
About how people would wander for forty years 
In a desert, and at every turn resist the leader God appointed to them.
They'd rather, be like Muhammad writing his book, 
And make everything glorious victories.
Rather, you get a sense of the reality, that anyone lost
In a wilderness for forty years would be bound to frustration and doubt.
And at the last, seeing Moses held his position through it all,
Is the greatest miracle, that only God could stop those people from deposing him.
