When the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron and said to him, “Up, make us gods who shall go before us. — Exodus 32:1
Their struggles were real, but only unto them
Impatient they were, irrational thinking came into view
Lives will be lost, ensuing disorder and mayhem
One’s ignorance of history, misinformation, underdeveloped brain stem
The first born sons of Egypt was the last straw, if these people only knew
Their struggles were real, but only unto them
They sacrifice their young, innocents still chewing bubble gum
No masks to be found, the parents have no clue
Lives will be lost, ensuing disorder and mayhem
