4. PROPHET

 
Fiyah bun the demon spirits of blood sacrifice
who manifest in flesh out of Satan religion.
I&I know them 666:
Kali-Ma, Shango, Moloch.
 
I did help a woman (Sataness in flesh) because
she was in need and she appeared to be a humble
one.  Don't judge by appearances, My Child, for ye
shall be deceived. 
The woman transformed as the
Indian Kali-Ma who drags a chain of skulls.  Death
threatened my home with abortion, murder, suicide
and sacrifice in visions of dreadful prophecy, while
visibly the demoness craved after the conscious
meditation of My Lord and Kingman, even hoping to
displace me as Mother.  I&I say: Fiyah bun Kali-Ma.
 
My neighbour did befriend a man (Satan in flesh)
because she was in need and the man appeared
to be a helpful one.  Don't judge by appearances,
My Friend, for ye shall be deceived.
  The man
transformed as the African Shango who drinks
hot blood for tea.  Fornication and drunkenness
entered her home with lust, betrayal, adultery,
defilement and isolation, while spiritually the
demon with images of incest and rape tried to
drive away her Children, her peace and self
knowledge.  And I&I say: Fiyah bun Shango.
 

There are leaders of church and state that I&I

help from time to time because they claim to

be sincere and they appear to be truthful ones. 

Black Man, they sold your wife and children down

the river!  These men in high places transform into

the White spirit Moloch whose altar is littered with

babies bones.  Deeds of secret sorcery then fill

the nation, with devils screaming for blood from

the tortured bodies of Children sacrificed in spirit,

only leaving those bodies when they are crushed

in death, to dwell in the flesh of another soul whom

they have marked with the blood kiss of sacrifice. 

With devotion I&I pray: Fiyah bun Moloch.
 
Yes, there are many walking around
as fortified temples of demons.
I&I call them Flesh-Bearers, the Living Dead.
I&I burn them in fire – fiyah bun to cleanse them.
Put your faith in Lucifer, you must get burned.
But RASTAFARI have the Whole of the Love.
 
Howl … for the Day of JAH is near,
bringing devastation from RASTAFARI.
On that Day, every arm falls limp
and the hearts of all men fail them….

 
The Day of JAH is coming, merciless,
with wrath and fierce anger,
to reduce the world to desert
and root out the sinners from it ….

 
I will punish the world for its evil-doing,
and the wicked for their crimes,
put an end to the pride of arrogant men
and humble the pride of Babylon
         (Isaiah 13:6-11)
 
When in Egypt their foolish and wicked notions
led them astray, into worshipping mindless reptiles
and contemptible beasts,
I sent hordes of mindless creatures
to punish them and teach them
that the instruments of sin
are instruments of punishment.        
(Wisdom 11:15-17)
 
I&I RASTAFARI uphold the Principle of Righteous
Discrimination, wherein wolves are separated from
the sheep in the green pastures, hunted down by
angels blowing trumpets, while chaff is winnowed
out from the wheat on the threshing floor, to be
blown away by the wind, and thorns are divided
from the corn in the fields, cut down and burned.
 
There are racists who persecute I&I
because I&I stand up for Blackness.
There are 'civilized' men who defame us
as a cult of addicts and felons.
There are iniquity workers too,
invoking demons to kill us with rituals.
There are governments paying bounty killers:
political assassins.
 
Out in Babylon we are tested by Snares of Satan.
In our gates we are judged by the Justice of JAH.
And Who JAH Bless, no men shall ever curse.
When they send forth a flood to swallow us up,
I&I are sheltered by the Earth.                 (Rev 12:13-17)
 
Where is Mount ZION, my own vine and fig tree?
This is the Orchard, I&I backyard Garden,
with ThreeStone blazing, calabash and yabba pot.
Here yam vines and pumpkin vines
run between the banana trees.
Dasheen soaks up the minerals of the Earth.
Fruits sparkle in the Early Sunshine.
Peas and pimento, beans and corn spring up.
Look, the bird pepper and all the herbs for healing!
A Structure and Form – Li – of the Life Force – Chi.
And 12 Ganja Trees by the rivers of water.
 
Peter Tosh say:Legalize it … and I will advertise it.
Rastaman nah go a jail fe Ganja no more.

And Steppin Razor sing: Live clean …
let your works be seen.
Equal Rights and Justice …
Culture Man walking in the Future.
[14]
 
Don't give up Dreadlocks; the Ban shall be lifted.[15]
The Chinese cultivated it, preventing starvation:
Ganja Grain a staple food to feed the generations.
They made a poultice from the seeds and leaves.
This was for skin infections and scorpion stings.
The oil in the hair prevented graying and balding.
As porridge it firmed the flesh and glands in old age.
 
Once more Ganja Herb shall drink for tea,
Omega 3 seeds grind to whole grain flour,
the fiber will twist into rope and thread;
boil with seaweed ash and pound to make paper.
When I&I go forward to living Ital,
and a slice of Mount ZION is I&I own,
then the police, the army and the political mafia
shall no longer reap what I&I have sown.
Then we shall plant the Tree of Life
in we own front yard and garden,
and offer up the Blessed Sacrament
on the Hills Red Gold and Green.
 
My Beloved is down there on the back of the
mountainside, digging out the young fig suckers. 
He will plant them where they have room to expand.
To anyone burdened with afflictions of evil, he says:
Who will ascend in the Hills, the Holy Place? (Ps 24)
They plant cor n for fuel, not to feed a hungry man.
For all they moder
nization they don't understand:
So much wasted food war
ns of famine on the land.

(Come talk to My Lord, the Prophet Elijah.
Come ride with him on the Wings of Fire.)
Which side are you on?  Which do you prefer?
Whip of persecutor or patience of the Martyr?

 
When Rehoboam followed after several gods
and rejected the wisdom of the elders,
Solomon's Kingdom was split in two
and altars went up to the evilous ones.
Kings of Israel sacrificed their firstborn sons
for the laying of foundation stones,      (1 Kings 16:29-34)
even unto King Ahab and Queen Jezebel
who butchered the Nyahbinghi Prophets.   
(1 Kings 18)
The Queen's heart was to kill out all the Bredren:
the Prophets who refused to worship Baal.
This was the time of the male sacred prostitute,
when buggery was a religious ritual.
 
Elijah in the vineyard sentenced Ahab and Jezebel
and all of their family to the dogs in the streets.
He consigned their remains to eagles and vultures
who picked at their bones in desolate places.
 
Elijah from his hilltop condemned the Idolaters,
commanding the Fire: Strike from the Clouds!
Bur
n up the Captains and the Royal Guardsmen
of Moloch, Chemosh and Baalzebub.

 
When Elisha met the Nyahbinghi Idren at Bethel,
they told him: Your master shall fly away today.
Again when he followed Elijah to Jericho
the Bredren came out to tell him:             (2 Kings 2:1-18)
Do you know your master shall be taken up today?
 
As they reached the banks of Jordan,
Elijah split the river to pass as the Spirit of Moses.
Then rising on the whirlwind in a chariot of Fire,
he passed the Spirit on in double-portion to Elisha.
 
Come talk to My Lord Elijah.  He done know the
Idren coming because a butterfly did fly thru the
window and the wild fowl is crowing in the Bush.
Is bush I&I offering for a prayer and bush callaloo
I&I cooking with cassava and lentils, juice made

from oranges.  All Ital is Bush – no flesh or salt. 

Build a house from trees instead of concrete

because I&I can plant forests of new trees, but
a mountain cannot grow again after them raze it
down, and then there is no mountain for the trees
to grow on.  These said trees and all the bush is
what giveth I&I oxygen to breathe and maketh the
rain to fall.  Even bathing with Bush is enlightening.
 

In these sweet Caribbean Isles, I&I Black African

and Black Indian Ancestors did search thru the

Bush for rotten wood and manure to enrich the

Earth where we gather seeds and sow them. 

Planting out the tender nursery, I&I wrap dry leaf

collars round the base of the little stems to deter

cutting insects.  I&I mix the plaster from mud and

straw and cow dung; the oven and pots are dried

and hotly fired clay.  Pound provision in a mortar,

dry the flour in the sun, store roots and peas in

a dry pit with ashes.   Weave hemp cloth, forge

tools in the charcoal furnace.  If an animal passes

to the other side, ants can help clean the hide; cure

with seawater, soak in ashes and papaya leaves,

then in cashew tannins; pound, smoke and stretch

it.  At night and before Sabbath I&I bank up the hot

coals with ashes to sustain the Living Fire.  Eter nal

JAH, shield I&I apart from worldly misconceptions. 

 

Always, in this world, Satan is raising the stakes:

opportunities for abuse of wealth and domination.

Long time the highlands of Ethiopia were ruled

by War Lords who taxed Landowners who rented

farms to poor Peasants who were taxed by Tax

Collectors who were marshaled by Deputies while 

the Armies had their own set of ranks and Masters

lorded over slaves in life-long servitude.  Peasants

were at the mercy of Landowners who would evict

them if a next man was willing to pay more rent. 

The Poor and Have Nots slaved to plant food for

the Rich, and when the rains failed they starved.


Among many Kings and Lords there was One who

was King of all the Kings and Lord of all the Lords.

It was Selassie’s intention to reduce the cycle of

starvation and to change the Oppressive System

that shackles the Man of Servitude forever in

bondage to the Overseers and Masters.  He said:

 
The fundamental obstacle to farming in Ethiopia
has been the farmer's lack of security in the land.
The fruits of the farmer's labour is to be enjoyed
by he who has toiled with his back and his hand.
The landless have a right to own their own land.
Renters must not be overburdened or oppressed.
Taxation of land must be the same for everyone.
The earth of the nation is for all to possess.
[16]
 
Even before Ras Tafari was made Regent to the
Throne, he had governed his provinces as judge

and administrator.  He would develop books of law:

statutes and a constitution for his people, written

words for which international universities would

award him doctorates of law.  He wrote of Kingly

Governance: a parliament that shares the power
and the work of government between Emperor,
Ministers, Lords and People; indeed the Ethiopian
Imperial Throne is similar to the British Imperial
Throne which has a Monarch, a selected House of
Lords and an elected House of Commons.  But the

Queen of Britain is a sitting room monarch whereas
the Emperor of Ethiopia must labour tirelessly as
the Supreme Judge in the land: anyone may appeal
a case to him.  The Anointed King is bound to guide
and protect, hand up the Royal Inheritance to his
Children, keep stable the foundation of the Nation. 
His Divine Covenant is to exalt the Orthodox Faith. 
I talking about King David Rainbow Circle Throne.
 
He will reign as a True King, with discretion,
practicing integrity and justice in the land.
(Jer 23:5-6)
 
By his authority, My Lord gradually cut the power
and land holdings of the rich Rasses and Priests. 
He abolished slavery, printed Bibles in the common
language and outlawed rituals of obeah witchcraft.
He patronized schools and orphanages, providing
education for the youths, even the underprivileged. 
His Majesty built agricultural colleges, technical
schools and universities.  The people were trained

for civil service, police force, military command,

medical science, banking, governing, legislating,

building and civil engineering.  Within all these
times, My Lord proclaimed that 50 acres of land
each would be registered for all of the landless.
 
It is not so difficult to guess what happened next:
 
With Landowners in the Courts and the Church,
what do you expect did happen?
With Landowners in the Senate
and Landowners representing the People,
with Landowners running all the Ministries,
do you think there was progress for land reform?
 
Most of the free land was purchased by Landlords,
or by Government Workers, Soldiers and Police.
Only a little land was retained by the Poor People
who are always the victims of downpression.
 
Parliament did fight down His Majesty's efforts,
and when he decreed less taxes, the Landowners
collected more taxes instead, gathering unto
themselves a greater part of the Peasant Harvest.
 
My Lord had developed his Government with the
Mission of Destiny because JAH had appointed
him the Protector of Ethiopia.  To his Ministers
he gave the high duty to help him along the way,
no malice, but for Love of Country.  So he said:
 
Patience is needful to accomplish a great concept:
Our People must advance towards civilization.
We must lead them to a better standard in life,
to share in all good things of the civilized nations.
[16]
 
Because they tell themselves that they should
have all authority as the Emperor, the Ministers
and different Ranking Officials decide to do what
they want and get corrupted.  Watch how Tax
Collectors, Landlords, Police and Soldiers abuse 
the Farmers.  Watch modernization strangle the 
poor Peasants of Ethiopia and all the Third World 
as our populations grow and we must sell our own
Children into slavery because western economies
have licked up all the minerals, hustling expensive
inventions and war machines to people of poor
nations whose wealth and land they have stolen. 
 
JAH depends on Man to be just to his Bredren.
When men are unjust, what is JAH Judgment?
How can I&I the Planters stay patient when I&I
must always hand over most of what we work for,
sweating in the sun?  We have no more will to
plant.  Mashed down by the Church and the Big
Men and  the Army, I&I cry Blood and Revolution!
 
JAH say: Who like the office, go to the office.
Who like the hospital, go to the hospital.
Who like the funeral, go to the funeral home.
Beware the day of difficulty, sorrows and regret.
Who like the wilderness, stay in the wilderness.
Who like the hills, stay up in the hills.
Your comfort is the land; on the Day of Judgment
Ye shall know peace and safety, with no torment.

 
Plagues of Destruction have covered the Earth.
Bubonic plague afflicted the world over and over.
Then men filled the seas and rivers with toxins.
All their food and water was unclean; still they
poisoned the air, even the atmosphere, until the
sun began to scorch the Earth.  Worst of all they
raped and sodomized and fornicated, spreading
a painful and incurable disease, with sores.  Sinful
mankind is indeed very far from the Garden. (Rev 16)
 
My Lord has dirt on his hands and his clothes are
wet with sweat.  He has dragged a dry fallen tree
to the ThreeStone.  Nyah is Keeper of the Fire.
 
Before the Congo Mineral Wars and the Diamond
Massacres of Sierra Leone, there was an expanse
of Orchard Bush in Africa – a Tropical Garden just
like how it was when it filled up the Sahara region.
 
There were Pygmies in the Congo
whose Forest was their Womb.
It was growing all around them, natural living room.
These People lived closer to Creation
than any other Tribe,
yet still their only sorrow
was they had to kill to survive.
They said that Death came to their People
when they killed their Brother Antelope,
and they would continue to Dead
until they learn not to Kill.
They didn’t know nothing about competition.
Even their play was about cooperation.
They said that mutual concern
is the freedom way of living.
They laughed all the time;
their music awakened the Forest.
 
From African Roots I&I grow the Fire Theology:
Ancient Queen Nyahbinghi Healing Theocracy,
Enemy of Colonialism, Lodge and Ku Klux Klan,
Word Sound Power fanning Flames of Judgment,
invoked by Leonard Howell, 1st Rasta at Pinnacle,
who was jailed and injected till driven to madness.
 
Nyahbinghi incarnated in Uganda, freedom fighter,
feared more in Spirit than even in Battle,
jailed by the British 3 decades till she travelled on:
Great Mother, called Nneka, Living Spirit of Afrika.
Swift like a Lioness running across the grassland,
another Warrior Nyahbinghi escaped to the hills.
She bears her children easily, with little travail.
If it’s not her will to conceive a child,
a small piece of aloes below the womb
serves as a bitter bush contraceptive
(but JAH JAH Will is Greater Still).
 
There are secrets to reveal
about Woman and Childbirth,
but first I tell the Daughters of ZION:
After JAH, give your heart to Nyah.
Natural Mystic Man of Peace:
He shall fulfill your Soul desire.

 
Like a tree that's planted by the waters,
you shall bring forth Daughters
and you will give him Sons.
Happy the Man whose heart is for Selassie I.
JAH will not pass him by
when His Kingdom Comes.
 
I&I stand tall as the cedars of Lebanon,
flourishing like palm trees in the Courts of JAH,
hailing Selassie and His Righteous Empress –
I&I Rock in Whom no fault is to be found.           (Ps 92)
 
My Beloved is the Prophet Elijah,
his name is Justice and Judgment.

Every endeavour is offered up for Clearance.

That's how he moves with Integrity and Guidance.
 
He keeps the Children under his watchful eye
and does not fail to discipline.
My Beloved delivers a goat or a Child.
He is full of strength of the Breath of HIM.     (Micah 3:8)
 
He uses bush to deliver I from sickness,
his hands to deliver my bones from pain.
He even delivers the land from drought
as he drums the Heartbeat to invoke the Rain.
 
What makes My Love sweeter than other lovers?
He drinks rain water, he bathes with lemon.
The trees give him nuts, the bees give him honey.
His Comforting Word is the Spirit herein.
 
What makes My Love dreader than other Brothers?
In his vision he can see how Satan contests.
He sharpens his sickle with the Word of His Wrath,
reaping the harvest of sinners for the winepress.
 
Remember, wicked people can do what they like.
But not for as long as they would have liked.
The distance men can see
is not good enough for me.
I want to be wrapped up in the Arms of Safety.

 
What do you see, Culture Man?
Look inna your crystal ball.[18]
I see oceans Burning … submarines Exploding,
space shuttles Blazing … power plants Melting.

 
What do you see, Nyah Man?
Look inna your crystal ball.
I see rivers Drying … fires Raging,
sunlight Scorching … Hot Lava, Lightning.

 
NYAH NYAH NYAH! … BINGHI … I …
Death to all black and white
Downpressors and Downstroyers.
HAILE I HAILE I HAILE I JAH! … RASTAFARI.

 
At a time when the Black Nation
was downtrodden all over the Earth,
Marcus Mosiah Garvey lit again the light of love
for I&I Father God and I&I Brother Man.
 
He prophesied a King in ZION
and a blessed generation
who would sail the Black Star Liner
forward to the Land of Creation.
 
The British Crown had set aside, in the Treasuries,
20 million pounds in sterling silver pieces,
but it was not for Repatriation
of the Black Slave Children
who were weeping by the rivers of Babylon.
 
Queen Victoria's reign would come to an end
when Marcus was a youthman of 13 years.
Jamaican student from St. Ann's Bay,
he would soon raise the cry to Repatriate,
calling: Africa for the Africans at home and abroad!
One God, One Aim, One Destiny!
 
Victoria was succeeded on Babylon throne

by Edward the Seventh and George the Fifth.

But the Sceptre had never departed from Judah,

so Empire slipped from the grasp of Elizabeth.
 
Where did the 20 million pounds silver go?
Not to Black People – this much we know.
It was a kidnapper's ransom, in I&I opinion –
to pay the Slave Masters for Black People freedom
all over Queen Victoria's World Dominion.
 
The Black Star Line was swindled and sabotaged.
Garvey was persecuted like all the Reformers.
His poems of the Devil Mussolini against the King –
I shall read them to the I on a breezy afternoon.
 
There is no sense in hate; it comes back to you.
Everything in God's Plan is just as it should be.
Let us build a Race founded on Justice and Love,
Charity, Mercy and Equity.
A great inter-racial conference must be called
to straighten out each different controversy.
[19]
 
So just as how John did baptize us with water,
for repentance of sin – pure lambs and martyrs,
so Jes'us Imanuel baptized I&I
with the Spirit of Prayer and Guidance,
that wherever two or more gather in prayer,
I AM there in the midst of us.
 
I will raise up a Prophet from the Bredren.   (Dt 18:18)
 
And just as how Marcus baptized I&I
with the Spirit of Self Sufficiency,
and the Remembrance of Prayer and Vision
as the Salvation of the Nation,
so the Binghi Man Capleton baptizes with Fire,
in the furnace like Azariah,
in the well like Jeremiah.[20]
 
Fyah Man Prophet – hear him chant Nyah!
An Angel singing with a loud voice,
an Angel flying higher, the Purifier,
blazing the kings who defile themselves
in their Mystery Babylon vain desire,
invoking disaster on the City
like the Ancient One, Isaiah.
 
Come talk to Ras, so the Prophet say:
There is no ranks in the Fire Circle.
Let I&I beat the Drums and reason we Reasoning,
cook the Ital yood with Iditation seasoning.
Listen for the hidden rhythm,
then you may catch the phrase,
and ride it sideways over the Heartbeat,
chanting Thanks and Praise.
Let we trod thru the jungle
to the waterfall in the forest region.
Chant some Judgment, plant provision.
Make ready for the Armageddeon.
 
The false church has riches,
splendid courts and cathedrals,
a higher class of priests with worldly connections.
The True Church is humble:
Apostles live as equals.
Our cathedral is the trees and mountains and stars.
 
Yet be careful how we judge a man by his position.
For example, Pope John Paul was a humble man.
He stood at the Door of No Return in West Africa
grieving for the people taken captive from their land.
 
John Paul said the Spirit blows in all true religion,
the Wind of the Spirit is of many forms and faiths.
He repented for slavery, persecution and genocide.
A good man in a wicked church is Truth in they face.
The Pope to watch out for is an intellectual fraud,
having benefits of knowledge but nothing of Grace.

 
JAH People have the Holy One to send for the rain,
take away I&I troubles, take away I&I pain.
Natural Man has Herbs for healing,
Words for unsealing, Vision for revealing
the Highly Disciplined Love he is feeling:
Who can't face the wooden staff must face the Iron.
Who has tried to overstand, do good and seek JAH?
            Angel
