I
Holy Land across
the river – Thirty-seven
days left with Moses

II
Seeking smarty pants
Israelites to hire
in top positions

III
Reminded of the
extra forty years because
we were so evil

IV
I think we’re going
in circles – I think we are
going in circles

V
Fast forward thirty
eight years – All the evil ones
gone – gone means they died

VI
All these stories – the
recounting and recounting
Nothing but re-runs

VII
The Land divided
Canaanites not consulted
We men love our maps
