Half a root
half a truth
hidden in riddles, ecclesiastical
proverbs, parables & psalms
every word of YHWz. is deep insight,


though a pastor may preach
& an apostle may exalt
we all know who was in 400 years of slavery.
ask the black oracle,


Although they build museum to trap our arts,
although they build schools to unlearn us our crafts,
and prisons to keep us behind bars,
but you can never truly separate spirituality from africa, man.

When the kingdom comes
the true origin shall be exposed.
some live in mansions
others sun burnt,
but their heart still handsome.
ethiopia, the beginning and the end.

El’, el, Eli-Jah Self,

Woe to the earth and the inhabitants in it.
“Ye simple” first called apes,
then became black monkeys,
now mentally slave to Science,
how long shall your burdens
be hung around your neck

Study your african proverbs,
understand the ecclesiastical of riddles
of the black communities,
sing to your forefathers in psalms,
let a parable be made known to you at night,

forget the forelocks
grab the essence of the word spoken by I Am long ago,
break the chains in your mind
same ones they makes you feel you need on your neck to feel alive,

Wisdom is better than silver & gold,
understanding builds a family home better than the purest diamonds,


“ye sluggard” do not become a mockery of the blood shed
or the sweat and tears that never slept by the pillar of cloud at night
and the pillars of Fire by day
that led the path
while your old souls suffer whips.
what has been that has never been seen before?


They stole our tradition,
culture & heritage
& gave us science telling us our forefathers are dead & gone
but agreed to their DNA in print in us,

They have succeeded in stealing the literature of your heart.
and tear families apart
how enticing is jewelry compared to good character.

Remember your name
children of Jah who says we have no more fathers.
remember your priest Eli
& how he slept,
and also importantly
remember JAH nor dead.
