Moses led his people from their captivity
In Egypt to the God’s land for safety.
Moses ascended Mount Sinai to get
The Ten Commandments from God in tablets .
His return delayed, his people got confused.
They made a god of gold in the form of a calf
And were around It when Moses returned.
Disgusted, he broke the set of tablets.
God was unhappy; Moses pleaded for them.
He ascended Mount Sinai once again
And brought from the God a set of tablets
With the Ten Commandments inscribed in them.
Along with the second unbroken set
Of tablets, the first shattered set also
Was stored in the Ark of the Covenant,
Which gives a message about brokenness.
Burying our sins and hiding our wrongs
Would serve us nothing good in a long run.
Let us have the whole and the broken of us
Side by side as a reminder to guide.
