Sonnet: The Last Plague (Modern English Sonnet) Poem by Dorian Petersen Potter

And the Lord said to Moses that day
That He'd bring onto Egypt one more plague
After this Pharaoh will let go, open cage
He'll drive you out from land for'ver I say

Tell people that all men and women
Are to ask from all their neighbors today
Anything they have of silver, gold.He,
Moses said: This is what the Lord says then:

Around midnight throughout all Egypt I'll go
And every firstborn son of Egypt will die
From firstborn of Pharaoh, to slave's son
And firstborn of cattle, will die you know

All through the land will be a loud wailing
Worse than there has been or ever I'll bring
