Man like bag-a-wire should burn if Fire, the betrayer of Marcus Garvey. Bag-a-wire is a heathen who betrayed Marcus Garvey to be killed by babylon. He was a skinny lanky man, so that is why he is called Bag-a-wire (bag of wires)

I just looked around and somebody said ------------------- Marcus Garvey cursed the man to walk up and down with (or in - if going by comments of others) a bag of wire. He was seen so, and thus became known as 'Bag-o'-wire'. A fitting decree it would seem when you consider the amount of wire surrounding penal institutions or used as boundary fencing! http://www.roots-archives.com/forum/read.php?2,29077,page=3 ------------------- The person who wrote that said they learned it from their mother, who is Jamaican. The reason I mentioned in I previous Reasoning I heard from RasTafarI people from Jamaica and other islands.

Ark I, let me thank you for the correction. well done. ever since i was a small child i knew Jesus Christ is God, when i grew older, i heard of Marcus Mossiah Garvey and instantly, i belived in HIM. His word i took as prophecy which led me to H.I.M. Emperor Haile Selassie I. Nevertheless ive not searched for His life story apart from what can be found in encyclopaedia. Jah love.
