Go Down Moses

Go Down Moses


Go down Moses,
Go down slow.
Go down easy.
Go down low.

Go down from Egypt,
Staff in hand.
Part the Red Sea with it,
To the Promised Land.

Go down hard as stone,
From the mountaintop.
With the words etched in it,
Failed memory cannot stop.

Go down to the wilderness,
And wander forty days.
Wander there in your mind,
And don't forget the ways.

Go down to the Coliseum,
And ride your chariot fast.
Ben Hur is your name,
With you the die was cast.

Go down to the Naked Jungle,
Torch in your hand.
Fight till the last man standing,
Is your bloody band.

Go down to the ruin,
Of a world gone mad.
You are the Omega Man,
Who'll make good from bad.

Go down to the planet,
Where apes are men.
Discover what they've done,
Man will never right again.

Go down in history,
As Caesar’s leading man.
A Man for All Seasons,
A man who can.

Go down to the stage,
Utter Shakespeare's poetic rage.
Bask once again in the limelight,
Before it fades the page.

Go down to death's door.
Like time's slipping sands.
Until they pry the gun,
From your cold, dead hands.

To Charlton Heston, Renaissance Man
… may your deeds outweigh your dementia.

Good poem...good theme. I read something today that said..."being politically correct means you haven't the balls to stand up for what you believe in." I am a gun owner. I also believe if you can't support a country and it politics, you should find some other country where you can be more comfortable and stop bellyaching and whining about this one. It is also interesting to note, that the very countries who think we are in the wrong still have absolutely NO compunction about taking our money while they spit in our faces, and these same folks cry 'you don't respect me.' Who is kidding who here?

Very good work, Ron. Let's hope Mr. Heston's deeds are not " interred with his bones..." He indeed had the balls to stand up for what he believes in, rather than be politically correct. We should have more heroes like him. ~E

Charleton Heston--very dramatic actor in all his roles. So was Ronald Reagan who called Russia the "evil empire." He was very dramatic. No Bush reminds us of the "axis of evil". Hollywood makes it easy--there are good guys and there are bad guys. So we must arm ourselves against the "bad guys". The truth is, we may well be "the bad guys"--we just don't see it. One country's "freedom fighters" are another country's "terrorists".
Great poem, Ron.
