Ujamaa Christian Poetry

At Ramah

Now Rachel's voice is symbolizing.
Her mourns for her kin are vocalizing
'cause people turned to feudalizing
and left their God and priests and scribes.

As wife of Jacob, he is favoring.
Her cries for exiles held for slavering
by Assyria's hateful flavoring,
of their ways they impute and ascribe.

So Rachel's children, she's still weeping.
The children are gone. They are sleeping.
Deportation, reaping, heaping,
never more…ten Northern Tribes.
