Without vowel points, a convoy [שירה] really *is* poetry in motion:

שִׁירָה f.n. 1 song, hymn. NH 2 poetry. NH 3 music. [Nomen unitatis formed from שִׁיר. For the ending see second suff. ◌ָה.]

שַׁיָּרָה f.n. 1 caravan. NH 2 convoy, column. [Related to JAram. שֽׁיַרְתָּא, Syr. שְׁיָרְתָּא, Palm. שירתא. These words are prob. borrowed from Arab. sayyāra (= caravan), which derives from sāra (= he moved on, set out, traveled).]

Reference link (Klein's etymology)

(BTW, the three related words are all spelled שירתא which add up to 911)

‘Freedom Convoy’ :

Exo 15.1 Then sang Moses and the people of Israel this song [שירה] to the Lord, and spoke, saying, I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider has he thrown into the sea:

Who knows 50?

"We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there."

"This is not a convoy. This is a dream."

We' gonna do what they say can't be done.

As long as very few are paying attention to the script, I'll continue from my Smokey and the Bandit "convoy" post:
Their deliverance was not only from physical slavery but also from the Egyptian worldview. The Exodus released them from an outlook constrained by the natural realm.6 The redemption catapulted Israel into an alternate state of reality. They exchanged the restricted for the unrestricted, the natural for the supernatural, and the ordinary for the extraordinary. It was the seminal event that would define what Israel had now become: God’s Chosen People. Their transcendental quality was now evident in the aftermath of their trailblazing liberation.

Who Knows 50?

Exodus 19:4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself:

I figure that at some point, people will finally acknowledge and respect the one who's really in charge of the entire script. How 'bout He gets the real love He sooo much deserves?

There is no competition. There is no going back. Only the God of Abraham -- the God of the living -- could pull this kind of stuff off. Kings will shut their mouths.

Coming Soon. :)
