Blue Nile
Yeshiembet/Yeshi Gemaneh 1940 (Harar)
Aquamarine with fame and power
Roaring beyond horizons as lion did
Witnessed the flow to unknown direction
Leaving behind the birth land
When every where announced famine and hunger
Dreamed skin and bone with any glue
Bequeathed the fading smoke and run off poverty
With no technology to save you
Far in a distance heard a song:
"We are the World," as a solution
As much as two weak oxen ploughed
Mother prayed to see the harvest
to feed her hungry child
You better known at home
as Abiye than Blue Nile
