Slavery Brainwashing

By EMPRESS SARAI

Black People have been victims of slavery's brainwashing.
U-ropeans took us from our fore fathers land,
To a land of Nothing!
We showed them love and Civilization, which flowed down the River Nile.
From I-thiopia to Egypt and then to Greece and then to Rome.
We were taken into captivity and scattered from the place we knew as Home.
Babylon is neither willing nor able to repay us for centuries of Oppression.
And try to fight us down with Discrimination.

With the teachings that came from Marcus Mosiah Garvey,
“To look to the East from which a Great King would come.”
The Rastafarian faith was beginning to grow strong.
We did not see Jesus in Heaven sitting on a Great White Throne,
But the Most High on Earth who will come to conquer the Whole World.

In 1930 news came of crowning of a King, Ras Tafari Makonnen,
As His Imperial Majesty.
Which held so much significance to Black People
Searching for the expression of their Afrikan Identity.
He is the 225th restorer of the Solomonic Dynasty,
He is the Conquering Lion of Judah,
He is the Almighty.
Who sat on the throne of King David, over 3,000 years old.
We have to remember what the Bible told.
That the lineage according to the flesh of David line, Christ must return,
To reign upon His Throne.

But until 1972, Rastas was forcibly put down through murder and bodily harm.
Was put in jail, forced to cut our locks and constantly done wrong.
Those who worship the dragon or the Beast, who is John Paul,
Try to weaken our faith, to make us blind, so we cannot see the truth, at all.
They said our Emperor was dead, but how could this be?
God made a promise to King David and King Solomon,
That their throne and Dynasty,
Would endure as long as the moon and the sun.
They cannot bring us down because we have faith and assurety,
That HIM will regather us from this world,
Full of shame and pity.
That we will suffer no more.
Just follow His teachings and words and live Righteously.

While they still thought we were insane,
Because we separated ourselves from the world,
Was different from the rest, was not all the same.
Living in Babylon adversity,
And looking at reality,
We stuck and worked together in perfect harmony.
We spoke out against this type of violence, reasoning at the gatherings at Nyahbinghi.
There is also 12 Tribes of Israel and Bobo Ashanti.
Also Ethiopian Orthodoxy,
Whose theology,
Is a mix of Rasta and Christianity.
Even though, from a doctrinal view they may seem differently.
They still are recognized by all Rastas because of their livity.

For we vow the vow of the Nazarite,
Not lost in darkness, but can see the light.
Yet, there are some that are most commonly known as Wolf or Rent-A-Dreads.
Violent, drug crazed criminals that mis-represent us, which led,
To a continuous amount of rumours that the heathen spread.
Who worships a man conceived by Parenthenogenesis, who was considered dead.
Our goal is to reach Sheshamane, the land grant in I-thiopia, the Promise Land.
Where we will be free from the day-to-day influence of the System.
We will no longer be their victims,
Of slavery brainwashing.
