Alexander HaMasheachA Poem by Abdul Batin Osman Bey Inspired by the Book of Maccabees Alexander son of Zeus A mortal man who achieved godhood Bent the will of men Conqueror, benefactor, a leader above all leaders In your short life your hand stretched out and held the world Hailed as a king Hailed as a god Your name will live on forever A modern human among primitive animals Thrice great you were, you are Alexander son of YHVH Mighty is your name Knees bent before you Slaves and royalty alike None could lay a hand on you Providence seemed to smile on you Until the flu entered your honorable body Bringing you down to the door of death O Alexander You did not fear Yah smiled With his hands he lifted you up to paradise The garden of constant blooming sun Hail Alexander Forerunner of he who was to come A prefigure of the Kingly Lion of Judah Alexander Your name shall live on forever A constant light among the darkness You live forever © 2012 Abdul Batin Osman BeyAuthor's Note
