I'm BINO Mar 2018
I am mutabaruka
A black child from Jamaica look at me,you'll understand
I am mutabaruka
I'm high up to bright
I'm the darkness in your night
you see the way I dance,is just the Black in me.

         The things I think and feel     are the things they try to steal but look into the sun and you will see no one destroys the Black in me.

I am matabaruka
a black child from Jamaica
look at me,you'll understand
I am time and space I can never be erased. You See how I live,is just the Black in me.

         When you look at me and think, do I remember you of blood or ink?
well,anyone you perceive me to be I'm indelible and it's the Black in me.

I am mutabaruka
a black child from Jamaica.
look at me,you'll understand
I am mutabaruka
I am the dream you dream
I am the reason you scheme,
the compassion that you see
is because of the Black in me.
I shall be gone after the trumpet sounds.
Don't ask me why,i'm Only baptizing  
so be on my side like Noah and feel my Black Power.
words from the original mutabaruka

day cold as indifference
needing warmest apparel
booming business at coffee houses
long-forgotten thick coats out one more time
but see this steely stranger
barefoot like Sage Mutabaruka
and ******* clad in this rabid weather
smile like summer sunshine on a tropical beach
wants nothing and asks for nothing
his warmth is inside
where passions are generated
hypothermia has no chance with him
I never cease to be amazed how some of the poorest people survive the elements and appear always to be so contented
