I enjoyed the form of this poem and the last few words the most. It's taken me this long to comment because AuthorsDen has been timing out on me when I comment. Just a few lines but they make you think... ;)
The Wholly Book of Exodus is humorous adult literature that features adult language, situations and content. It is the companion book of Jay Dubya's The Wholly Book of Genesis that satires the entire first book of the Bible.

"but

secondary
intent."
Yikes... Superb empathy in this painful piece! I ache.
