ONLY RASTAFARI
BY RAS ALBERT WILLIAMS
(C) 2010
With the end of every day
We
Enslave I and I ancestors anew
With our obedience to decrees that address the aspirations of our captors.
Our passivity breeds and ugly offspring
Colonisation in its latest form.
Only Rastafari sees differently.
His patriotic chant of REPATRIATION is a threat to the establishment
that thrives on the blood of a hurdling mass… our people.
Black because
Mother Africa built her nest in the sun
TOO BLACK for sympathy
TOO BLACK for respect
But black enough to be reduced to a beast of burden.
With every new morning.
We sell out
Toussaint L’Overture.
WE hid in the comfort of our anonymity.
BEHIND A SEA OF FACES
Paul Boogle died not for us you say.
Neither did Congo Ray.
WE are content to be classless being.
Whose destiny it is to feed the hungry worms…the descendants of greedy colonialists.
ONLY RASTAFARI FEELS THE PAIN.
With the passing of centuries
WE bury our glorious heritage with alien tongues…mode
of dress, religion that tames the will to rebel,
Like Hannibal, that GREAT AFRICA WARRIOR who tried
to abort the slaughter of an entire African race
ONLY RASTAFARI WILL PUT UP A FIGHT.
Only Rastafari will not surrender his pride
His dreadlocks circles his shoulder like mighty madras fluffing
in the winds of change that are blowing across this planet…
Where the
BLACK STAR LINER will salvage the corpse of millions
of Negroes whose spirits returned to the MOTHERLAND.
Only RASTAFARI cares
To think black
To talk black
To act black
To be black and be proud of that fact
That our negritude is is endowed by a
Black God in a
Black Heaven
That
Will reward the
Black revolutionaries
With a throne of black gold
Upon a pedestal of
Black ebony
For all the world to see
ONLY RASTAFARI KNOWS
