Moses (Free verse) by Dovina
When Moses was 40, he killed an Egyptian and thought he was somebody. When he was 80, he talked to Pharaoh and thought he was nobody. When he was 120, he died after watching God make nobody somebody. When John was 40, he played engineer and thought he was somebody. When he was 60, he considered the universe and thought he was nobody. When he was 90, he died after writing down everything he could think of up to that point.

You're both wrong. He saw it from Mount Nebo, in Jordan.

We're not talking about seeing it, obviously, but going there. It's a figure of speech, the like of which you seemm incapable of grasping.
