How dare you spit upon his garb! This peaceful bredda who by nature only loves, When you should have been his Rasta queen Your ghastly behaviour drew a scene And I- woman just like you Hang my head in shame As you defile our name. Selassie-I know seh di Rasta man took a deep breath To...

Colonial Master
Colonial master: A lot was doing faster Many stubborn chains able to loosen Like the vessels whom Christ had chosen. Colonial master: Hatefully fought by Rasta But they were also safeguarding Jamaican rights, Which sometimes would their sanctity lose In the darkness of tragic nights At the hands of The Conquered by booze. This Great Master though was a great slave To every African cultivable soil And...

Rasta Master(For Bob Marley)

Clad in a regalia of reggae, To do the regatta acloud again, The buffalo soldier hosts the banquet. All around the world, Through the Poles,through the Equator, Jah made whole,man no dismantle. ...

On an cool Autumn night, Eerie and full of dread. ...not fear...but locks. Darkness is embraced by light, Peace stirs in the midnight wind, ...not a calm...but a gesture of his hand. Simple and sweet...a mystery hides Behind the pleasant mood. ...not a state of mind...but the smile on his face. With a skull peering over his shoulder, Silent growls begin to grrr. ...not growls...
