Shem
A meeting in Banjul,
And of the colourful girls i saw around;
But they all fell by the edge of the sword in one night.
You are sold into the hands of a woman and,
I am between Ramah and Beth-El;
But the name of the great military leader around saw Shem.
Two nations are in your womb and,
There are twins expected out soon;
But you are the daughter of another man.
Did you not hate me and drive me away? !
And i am now at the fords of the Jordan to clear my view;
For hatred had been part of the meeting and,
It had led many to fall by the edge of the sword.
