In solidarity with our Christian brothers and sisters, we wish you all merry Christmas and a happy new year. TO JESUS OF NAZAREATH ( A Poem) Muslims call you Essa Christians named you Jesus Unanimous in the piety of Mary Called the Virgin mother Cradle to purity Prophet you are Rejected by your people Raised from low To heights beyond mountains Bewildered they look on The glare of politics in religion Captivated Pilates attention Your kingdom and Rome clashed They tried you for rebellion The cause of political martyrdom My people celebrate your day In dances and songs galore Disregarding the schism of religions Manifesting commonalities binding all The great beauties of Gods creation But their feet are checked Their bodies and minds in chains Reducing their freedoms to nothing Their land a brutal fiefdom In our motherland The Gambia By: Omar Joof
