Nature is Ethiopian

I’ve seen Creation dapples
the wood, the pepper, the apple
you have as good example
throughout evidence is ample
anything they could babble
doesn’t matter it’s vain battle
red, gold and green castle
leaves as flags cannot baffle
the land is Ethiopian channel
any other nation is a vassal
Haile Selassie I is the chapel
earth is the Lord’s no hassle.

Don’t Deceive Thyself

“For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.”
Galatians 6,3
Jah didn’t
create us
because in need
we just
futile servants
we die as live
the river
we beat
but we don’t move
a wata
it just seems
wise and mad
pawn and queen
clean and unclean
shall fall
the same pit
RastafarI
judgment
He brings
against each
unworthy
in comparison
with Him
we leach
from vanity
of image
and speech
difference
of several inches
shall flatten
our ego
in pieces
what can I esteem
when I am from
His casual
seed
and ignore
the destination
I reach
so many
historical sins
should teach
humbleness
and silence
unto me
more than
titles
of Rasses
institutional
self-praising
and hymns
the most
in universe
is unseen
Batin
inna small box
of awareness
we are placed in
coming here
the elder
who thinks
to have the solution
and nothing indeed
“orthodox” preachers
fighting the Divinity
of Selassie I King
iconoclastic
gurus, selling
their plastic
on tv
with fat arrogance
deceive
they will receive
even the strongest
one day
must be weak.

Time Will Tell

Time
will tell
master
over hell
all matters
under
His spell
change
each cell
of illusional
Chanèl
He rings
next bell
a different
smell
I feel
out the well
form the best
tempest
can’t quell
wheather
like water
that fell
opens
a hard shell
reaching
who dwell
trying to repel
the death
pell-mell
that fake
won’t sell
more
truth
shall rebel
endures
what excel
only that
He compel
to accept
Haile Selassie
the First
Amlake Amalekt
knells
the fact
impels
Mikaièl
to kill
the rats
angèls
of Gebrièl
bring
news of arts
what befell
to the part
of the infidel ?
Will forget
the carousel
of Noel
cannot stand
the medicine
of Rufaièl
the discipline
the prophet
foretell.

Cannot Overthrow I&I

“Gamaliel, one learned in the law, warns Israel of their attitude to the apostles and their teaching. ‘Refrain from these men,’ he says, ‘and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: but if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it.’ And so we see today the Bible with its wonderful message reaching the remotest parts of the earth.” #QHS

Who Am I
to disturb that belief
which johannes guy
blind and stiff
could win my pride
even the priest
of jewish remind
won’t cope with
something so wide
they never seen
Jah say the time
is now and here
I’ve read the sign
they have reached
remotest sides
with Gospel script
modern lines
woudn’t admit
ignorant crime
in global lit
literary shine
education the key
Gideon shrines
will open quick
master is time
history picks
by judgment tides
those who resist
with bias to inquire
they still insist
to lead the fight
I faith persists
in this
eternal fire.

(Taken from our poetical work “Jah Seh The Bible”)

Learn and Teach

“It is not enough for the children of Ethiopia to be recipients of education. They should never forget that the responsibility for passing on this knowledge to others and of handing it over to the next generation rests on them.”
(Selected Speeches p.8 )
“Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.”
(Deuteronomy 11, 18-19)
Don#’t be wise
with yourself only
share the light
if you have something
to do it right
for your brethren
how much might
received in schooling
now should write
return the service
teach your eye
reciprocate it
with another guy
kingdom in shaping
especially the child
youths need aiding
heritage to refine
a quality of races.

Education is the Key

“The key for the betterment and completeness of modern living is education.”
(Selected Speeches p. 34)
“Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.”
(Luke 11, 52)
Look a key
how much precise
ingenuity
technically fits
the hole
and gears rotate,
measure the lock
solve the problem
to open the port
expand the frontier
of my liberty place,
or keep it closed
and safe
science of mind
gives force
to my hand of right
harness
the space,
and patronize
width and length
I owe
I shall enter
the room
a globe
of complete size,
while fool
is still knocking
in vain
cannot born
again
on the other side.

He Lives in the Shadow

Ancient of Days
covered under
the wings of age
like prophet Enoch,
the first scribe
ethiopian to write
de-scribe pre-scribe
kept in a secret
pavillion,
where no eyes
discretion
earthly garden
of delight
keeper of an art
which is fine
and major,
indeed He rules
still now
the high
and the low
the fast
and the slow
even the abyss
He santified
below
in session,
Jah RastafarI
disapparition
again beyond
the veil
of holy shadow
as it was
in the beginning
He’s hidden
eva since
right now,
who shall dwell
a concealed
Zion manor ?
A scriptural
question
can’t answer wise
who knows
Jah Maryon ?
Who may go
behind
to search
His mind ?
Finding none
in the church
of Estifànos,
really
the King liveth
in the most occult
place or everywhere
unknown
to come
when camera is blind
quiet the soprano,
Melchisedek
brings diamonds
you get
the outcome
of your virtues
and vice
as He knock
the door
Judah Lion.
