THEY TRIED TO BRING EGYPT BACKA Poem by Sylvia Chika
They tried to bring Egypt back They treated them like Israelites in
captivity They were free But their mindsets kept them in
bondage They ate the lies And fell for the tricks
They tried to bring Egypt back They forgot who they were They sold their rights They wandered away from the light They wore shackles Camouflaged as jewelry
They tried to bring Egypt back They created a playpen Threw in toys But built walls around the pen Around and around they ran No exit…no
doors
They tried to bring Egypt back Very few saw it coming…
