Hail up the Most High

We Rastafari Hail up the Most High Jah Rastafari Haile Selassie with chalices filled to overflowing with the most utter high grade marijuana imaginable. Although Babylon has condemned us to live as slaves for the last 400 years we say Enough is Enough. We want to be free. So youth, grow your dreadlocks and wear your turban, reject all evil and only follow the deepest meditations (Blue Cheese, Northern lights et al). What most distresses me is that our slave drivers still claim moral superiority. They raped our ancestors and enchained them, giving them only the whip, lots of hard work, little food and no money, and now they tell us we cannot smoke our little marijuana stalks because they say so and if we disobey they send us to prison, wrecking our families and our lives. Everyone knows Babylon hunts cannabis more than they hunt the mafia. We have 400 years of resentments seething within. Or rather we had all this within our souls until Rastafari came along and turned our tribulation into jubilation. Literally when Jah came knocking on our doors we ceased being slaves for ever. Now even though many of us live in poverty in the West and are forbidden from returning home as a people and becoming true citizens of Africa, still we have the opportunity to live a truly Royal lifestyle like the Ethiopian Kings and Queens that we really are. With bong in hand we are literally living the Most High Royal lifestyle, meditating like King David and King Solomon. We have seen 3 generations of energetic Rastafari now, each stronger than the previous generation. In the beginning were Leonard Howell and Prince Emmanuel and Ras Sam. Then came along Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and a whole plethora of individuals from Benjamin Zephaniah to Burning Spear. The most well know from the 3rd generation is Sizzla but Capleton, Jah Mason, Lutan Fyah, Turbulence and a whole heap of other artists have taken the Rastafari message so strongly and in such an inspirational way into the 21st Century. of one thing we can be sure, Rastafari is a 21st Century livity. Phenomenal!
