Yeah, I me, Teacher;
me’a soon go where
me papa long time go.
So, inna teacher English,
me’a teach and tell’ya dis:
The oppressors tried
but could not extinct us;
so, they mentally castrated
our spirit and righteousness
and psychologically injected us
with their oppression syndrome.
Now, we engage in self-eradication
leaving the oppressors relaxing and
enjoying themselves on the beaches
as we engage in doing their eradicating
oppressive work for them.
Listen, we can continue to do and be
the children of the devil or forever be
the blessed children of Jah. Listen, our
ancestors—with less—created so much
for us with love and dedication to total
liberation; why are we with so much more,
hating and reducing ourselves to being less?
Why out of many, one people can be so
devoted to reducing themselves to zero for
the wicket ones who desiccated the fertile
womb our ancestral Motherland; and now
seeks to do likewise in this adoptive land?
Indeed, it is what it is, but it does not have
to be so, and should in no way be so. Thus,
I close out this lesson with reference to
the greatest textbook ever written for us:
“Finally, brethren, [and sisters] whatsoever
things are honest, whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever
things are of good report; if there be any virtue,
and if there be any praise, think on these things.”
Peace and Love.
