She came to me like an angel of mercy
like food when hungry,water when im thirsty
and she did nurse me,like my name is Gregory
I´saac, I´mGlad that she found me worthy
Let i give thanks for all the woman indoors
who cook all the food and scrub all the floors
She a make sure that the children are clothed
Give them food to eat when dem a asking for more
And she is ever there for her home and her household
never disappear like a stamp on a passport
Jah knows
how she travel the hard road
and her home
is not much more
than zinc fence and cardboard
Only she alone i chant for
So tell the politicians stop the damn war
Cuz she nah want fe send her likkle youths dem
to the killing fields where babylon will shoot dem
For babylon dont know about a mothers Love
Just to survive dem dont know what a mother does
And Mother was
A warrior,mother was a soldier
beside King Selassie I,Mother was Omega
Mother was Empress Nzingha
Empress Makeda and Queen Asantewa
Good Men they follow her
No harm shall come to her
The wings of the Lord shall always shadow her
....................................
And ini say
one bright day, it shall come to pass
when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
So give her what she asks for
she does deserve it
she is worth it
comfort her when she is hurtin
Nothing in this world is for certain
except her words and
her burnin desire to keep workin
food haffe come for the baby that she nursin
She never lose her faith when the situation worsen
So so so special
this person be
Joy of the earth let every person see
let every person know,
who it is they scorned
who they took from her home
who was forced to look while her children fell like leaves in the storm
whose babies were torn
from the mothers arms as soon as they were born
who was thrown overboard, stolen from the shores
who was bought and sold and brought to the heart of rome
They treated her so cold, but her heart was warm
Smile on her face, but her heart was in mourning
tired of the roaming
in her heart she hears a voice calling
saying come home little darling
As a teen
she became keen on Marcus Garvey speeches
it left her speechless
she became proud of her racial features
Now she teaches the future teachers
prepare for the future before the future reach us
.........................
One last thing about this little white girl
grew up with the privileges of this white world
they told her dont come in the sun or your skin might burn
but she look up to the Son and He give her the right Word
and those eyes of hers, have seen a lot through the years
the highs and lows,she seen the best,better,worst
.......................................and CRASH
.......................................
Some of the i dem must have wondered what happened to i that i wrote the "this day" post, i am sure Ark I for one, the i must have wondered.
well, i finally bring iself to talking about it lol
Thats exactly what happened
thats exactly what i was working on and i had reached exactly on that point when it happened
I think it was the closest i have ever come to shedding tears over a material thing, but ofcourse its not the lose of the material that hurt so much
I dont know if any of the i dem have ever experience anything similiar to this but
thanks to the wonderful world of computers, in an instance, i saw atleast two years of hard work gone, just like that
Two years of sweat,two years of sacrifices, of time spent away from family and friends. For the love of i work, i put everything else to the back, telling iself, just take care of today, do your work,tommorow will take care of itself
but didnt really work out that way
So i been iditating, iditating
and I hear I Father ask I one thing, are you giving up just like that, over one set back?
The other day, i was watching a documentary of the life of Bruce Lee
Note:if you ever really check Bruce, you will see what he did for Martial Arts,is very similiar to what Rasta has done to religion...eeeneway
So i am watching said documentary, when Bruce was living in america, he gets the news that his father just died, and he gets this news at a very low point in his life, frustrated because he couldnt find any work, bills stacking up, family to feed, looking by while films that he should have been in where given to white actors.....so one can imagine how news of a family death could have felt at such a moment. Hard to imagine that he could have had any kind of optimism at that time.
So he goes back to his childhood place,Hong Kong for the funeral....and what happens, within a year he would be the biggest thing in asia, the world to follow soon
As i was watching this, feeling down and things, it just hit i like a ton of bricks, you know, as they say, it was just the kick in the pants i needed
What the idren Peter Tosh say,
And I try
I said I try
I try
I really try try try
But I got to
Pick myself up
Dust myself off
Start all over, again
So be it.
By the way, if the one called Movado ever comes online on Jah Forum lol, i never thought you could give strength to one like i, you talk too much gun business, but still, i big you up for making that song "On the Rock", i needed that
The greatest thing i have ever learned
is to Love and be Loved in Return
"" All men are endowed with natural responsibility. This responsibility is in turn distributed and delegated to all according to his gift, and it is expected of each one to fulfil his responsibility. This responsibility in turn is to God and thus for example, and would start his work asking God to bless the beginning and thank God for a good ending too.
We believe that all people in all of their responsibilities delegated to them will begin and finish their work in God's name"
Holy I Selassie i JAH RASTAFARI
