“Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.”
Kahlil Gibran
Sometimes in the hours deep in the folds of the night, inspiration comes from afar off places and alignments in the universe that often go unseen. Such was the instance last night when an acquaintance's posting on the Facebook caused me to view a video clip that I had previously overlooked. I am all to familiar with stories like these living in the States; increasingly all to familiar watching young Afrikan sons slaughtered at the hands of the police. Many, will look aside and make the plethora of excuses far too often borne of ignorance. The suffering and demise of the untouchable is hardly appropriate fodder for the breakfast and dinner table. Then again, the "socialized world", generally inappropriately labeled as the "civilized world", rarely has time to share meals together anymore, yet we that do and would commune and dine are dubbed the infantile savage.
But what is more savage and infantile than a constabulary, so afraid of even children, that would hide behind archaic shields, tongues artfully crafted like 16th century rapiers, and tactics willfully, skillfully devised by an inhumane legionary? What is more savage than the depraved descendent of the gaul, saxon and boer, who like incessantly infesting crabgrass, invade territories of an innocently ignorant host, only to eventually subjugate, cultivate and manipulate themselves into superficial superiority and artificial sovereignty? After all the Devil also brought forth seed after his own kind that both at once swore allegiance to and promised that his will of world domination be their calling. (future editing will show my brother explaining that my choice of language is a bit extreme no doubt, but I digress)
One thing I can say bout the video below, and I beseech those reading to watch it thoroughly and with profuse understanding, is that the brilliance and broad reaching vision of The Rt. Hon. Marcus Garvey is made beautifully manifest in South Africa. Disturbing as the movie is, the fact that the Rastafari community is strong and flourishing, gives me great hope that one day the blight of the imperialist and the scourge of colonialism will be wiped clean from the face of the Afrikan continent and all the harbingers of the vile wickedness they contemptuously breed right along with them.
Imagine how impudent a people must innately be to, after decades of forced prostration of the indigenous, after years of ethnic and cultural sodomy (without so much courtesy as petroleum lube), still come back and continue to force inhumane alien justice and imperialist doctrine and ethics on a people who have ardently asserted their Godly and human right to self determination and sovereignty.
As bereft of material wealth and conspicuous excess as the community of Marcus Garvey is, the aptly named enclave in Cape Town is rich in love and pride and peace loving, Afrikan Rastafari adherents. The community member who was shot dead by police, for whom the mini-mentary was filmed, Ras Champion, was said to have been defending the school children from arrest. Has the world descended into such a state of anarchy and brutality at the hands of derelict police and judiciary, at the hands of corrupt politicians and capitalist extortionists, who conspire to write laws and codex to steal the very essence of humanity from people?
For those who know me, you know it is far from my nature and character to force my principles and Principals down anyone's throat. Far be it from me to ask anyone to turn away from their spirituality, faith and religion. Do unto others, right? But it boggles me how we Afrikans, throughout the Diaspora, have so taken to alien faiths and values, values that were indeed warranted in the frozen tundras of Europe where brother slew brother for scraps of rotted meat, how we have so taken such unto ourselves and turned away from seeing the essence of each of us one to the other in our brother and sister, who same way walk this journey of life with Afrikan ideals, hopes, dreams and promise. How have we allowed alien culture to, to this very day (Pope in Benin), to dictate their moral "superiority" to a people who gave the world civilization not rampant socialization?
My brothers and sisters, we have a shared responsibility to rescue our children from the hands of the demon Molech. We have a shared responsibility to take back our communities and Nation from the death dealers and their thugs, the politicians, judiciary and police. We cannot, must not lose this fight. We must be confident. The coming strife will not be kind to the faint of heart. It will seem interminable, but victory shall be ours; the Righteous will win favour over the might just. No weapons of war shall prosper against us. If they are not for the people, then they ARE CLEARLY AGAINST THEM.
This is the time for Nyabinghi drums to ring out from Cape Town to Cairo, for the Mau Mau to rise again in righteousness of salvation and with purposeful intent under the banner of The Rt. Hon. Marcus Mosiah Garvey, under the banner of Afrikan Pride, Afrikan Freedom, Afrikan Redemption, the Red, the Black and the Green. Nyabinghi warriors must rise again and sweep throughout the Land to show the people back the divine justice that is an inborn concept to the Afrikan, to Alkebulan, the land of the spirit people. Let righteous salvation, freedom redemption and the international return of sons and daughters stranded and tethered in the Diaspora through the wickedness of the vilest holocaust, be an anthem for change. Let LOVE be the salve that heals Afrika, as the Father and Mother of creation, the perfect balance, bid us do.
