Analysis of PHARAOH

Abubakar Bagudu 1984 (Kaduna)



Blessed memories at Egypt ground.
A Pharaoh once a wild hunter for sad Israel.
Bittered grace hits lips of unspoken tongues.

God plead them grace above common men.
Another Pharaoh was born, a new Pharaoh summoned.

Between good and evil as light and darkness bliss.
Pharaohs on earth, body mixed. With wax.

God's love for men, created from a common clay.
As a king being tinted in darkness fare.

Betrayal from pharaoh's only child.
Lifted sword, beheaded pharaoh's children.
Drown in a sea by magic dream.
Failed to cross the sea of fortune.

Created fire from tree planted by lost seed.
Unveiling commandments terrifying being.
For Israelite foolishness moulding gods.

Never did the rusted crown wanted God's own freedom.
Signs and wonders bidding them burden.

Signs and wonders, feared the eyes of cobras.
Let them flee open the hell gates.
A tongue confessed these.

God uses a goad for all minded heart of a stone.
Ride a foal to chase winds?
Chariots forcing ways by frustrated fools.

Force not God's wrath on earth.
A place the ground readily eaten up by termites.
Wrath cremating hearts swept away by brooms.
