Twelver
Twelver (Arabic: اثنا عشرية, Athnā‘ashariyyah or Ithnā‘ashariyyah; Persian: شیعه دوازده امامی, pronounced [ʃiːʔe-je dævɑzdæh emɑmiː]) Shia Islam or Imamiyyah (Arabic: إمامية) is the largest branch of Shia Islam. The term Twelver refers to its adherents' belief in twelve divinely ordained leaders, known as the Twelve Imams, and their belief that the last Imam, Muhammad al-Mahdi, lives in occultation and will reappear as the promised Mahdi.
Twelvers believe that the Twelve Imams are the spiritual and political successors to the Islamic prophet Muhammad. According to the theology of Twelvers, the Twelve Imams are exemplary human individuals who not only rule over the community in justice, but also are able to keep and interpret sharia and the esoteric meaning of the Quran. The words and deeds (Sunnah) of Muhammad and the Imams are a guide and model for the community to follow; as a result, Muhammad and the Imams must be free from error and sin, known as Ismah or infallibility, and must be chosen by divine decree, or nass, through Muhammad.

Two Lovers
by: Dolly PartonWell I've got two lovers and I ain't ashamed
Two lovers and I love 'em both the same
Let me tell you bout my first lover
He's sweet and kind and he's mine all mine
He treats me good like a lover should
And makes me love him I really really love him
Oh oh oh I love him so
And I'll do everything I can to let him know
But I've got two lovers and I ain't ashamed...
Let me tell you bout my other lover
Well you know he treats me bad makes me sad
He makes me cry but still I can't deny
That I love him I really really love him
Oh oh oh I love him so
And I'll do everything I can to let him know
Oh but darling well don't you know that I can tell
Whenever I look at you that you think that I'm untrue
Cause I said that I love two but I really really do
Cause you're a split personality and in reality both of them are you
But I've got two lovers and I ain't ashamed...
Well I've got two lovers and I ain't ashamed
