+-----Black Lives Do Matter; Moses’ Scathing Words to Aaron and Miriam Regarding His Ethiopian Wife 

I remember feeling helpless as
you recounted the stories to me,
the ends of bloody whips coiled
about one of your necks,
the other forcibly restrained while
he/she observed aghast dilating eyes
that seemingly reeled backwards
towards the skull, the acute pain
from searing sand stinging
in your mouths from
storms at high noon, your only
“food” due to the sardonic cruelty
of your captors omitting the
daily parceling of rations.
Truly, it hasn’t been long since
we fled Egypt that fateful night
rejoicing, spoils of gold bundled
and bulging from our pockets crossing
the Red Sea,
that lambs' blood smeared on our
erstwhile doorposts spared us
our firstborn sons,
the deafening silence of every
Egyptian nanny and nurse
fainting from grief
at holding soulless infant bodies.
When we reached the opposite shore
we promised to never look back,
to never speak on Pharaoh ever again.
If then, we are free, why do you
shackle yourself to the bigotry,
prejudice and hatred you were
emancipated from? You are now
Pharaoh resurrected in consciousness,
his taskmasters in gaudy headdresses,
a sinister glare in your eyes
as you plunge the souls of your
sandals into the smalls of backs
of those innocent, pillaging and
plundering material goods based
on whim, raping young slave women
behind bases of the pyramids.
You of all people, my people, should
defer to the foreigner in all humility
as you yourselves once were aliens
deemed pitiable; When I saw you
writhing
in bondage from my palace walls
grief pierced my heart and I begged
God to spare you, adjuring that
every life mattered-
the vilified Hebrew had
just as much dignity as the King
resplendently arrayed in jewels
entertained daily by the harem
before his throne.
True, my wife is not a Hebrew,
she is an Ethiopian (and I love her),
but this is not Egypt where
we make such distinctions…
this is the pathway to the
Promised Land where God
is taking us, and out here
every life matters just the same
as any other.

(And God will ensure that we give every life out here the dignity and justice it deserves)

 ---Numbers 12:1-15
And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman. And they said, Hath the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the Lord heard it. (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.) And the Lord spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out. And the Lord came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth. And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house. With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses? And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them; and he departed. And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous. And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned. Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb. And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee. And the Lord said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again. And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.
