Title: Haile Selassie I Liveth
Post by: rasashkar on October 16, 2004, 12:56:47 PM
Haile Selassie I Liveth!

Weep not Ethiopians! thy faith is dead not He
Who shall always command thy praise.
Those subject to fate cant put end to eternity
Nor timelessness fall prey to transient days.
Let thine eyes push forth no more floods
Like the Nile chaseth forth her waves,
Be not decieved by deception's broods
Life's enemies, those virulent, insidious knaves
Thy King liveth and will ever wear that crown
Preordained to grace his thought inspiring head.
From David's loins through sage Solomon
The sacred scriptures has prophetically said,
One would ascend to majestic rule
The crowning one be he to occupy the Throne.
No ambition's slave or time's fool
Is He, so laud you Him and Him alone.
