The Children are Crying Out for Love
75
When I go to sleep at nights, I can hear the children of the streets talking to me. They are interrupting my precious sleep. Annoying squeaky voices begging me for hope. But instead they should appeal to the pope. For I cant help them, while they go down that slippery slope.
What can I do, for they keep on nagging me. Visions of them keep showing up of them in their sagging clothes. On my heavy thoughts they keep on dragging.
Damn, why they don't leave me alone. Do they not have a home. But still they are in my vision with their hair uncombed. Reminding me that they are Rastafarian children. I am now bemoaned.
If they are Rastafarian children, then they are my children. They are one of us. They practice an ascetic lifestyle not by choice, but by default. Born into a Rastafarian lifestyle, where they walk about impacting the conscience of mankind by asking "could I have a dollar".
Just like Rasta, They test the heart of man, representing JAH in disguise.
" When mothers of Salem, their children brought to Jesus, The stern disciples drove them back and beg depart, but JAH smiled and kindly said "suffer the little children to come unto me".

Rastafari never forget them own. Let the first man without sin cast a stone. Answer the children instead of being on your phone. Even just buy them an ice cream cone. Don't rush them away with that harsh tone. Remember they could be your own.
We are children of the most high and they are our children. We want love from JAH, but don't want to share it. LET GO THE EGO. The children are our equal. For love will break all boundaries and unite all souls. When we brush them off and in the future they become successful. They will say to the other children.
"When I was in your shoe, no one gave me a meal, I had to tough it out on my own, with my sword and shield. I was in your shoes and had to walk the war fields. So get lost kid, nothing is free. I can't even offer an orange peel and you dare not touch my windshield".
Isn't love free, Why not give it away. Everyone has it abundantly, far from being scarce. For what the afflicted one was pierced. When you see the kids, don't be fierce.
Dub Poetry by a Child from the Ghetto
Here is the translation for the Child Dub Poet
It rough but we don’t complain (fuss)
Life down in Jamaica (yard) is tough, it’s rough, but we don’t complain (fuss)
Days upon days the children (pickney) don’t eat, there out on the street, some of them are sleeping on the cold concrete.
Life down in Jamaica (yard) is tough, it’s rough, but we don’t complain (fuss)
Naked Body and empty stomach, deep collar bones and enlarged stomachs, depression show on their faces.
My JAH, what a disgrace.

Dear rasta1,
I mean - what can I say? This lays heavy on the heart - it is the children I am most moved for and about, they deserve more, a family, a meal, a nice place to lay their heads. And yet there are children in this world who have everything and are still not satisfied and only want more and more while showing less and less respect to their elders. But it's all about to change and for that I live and am truly excited - a new world is on the horizon brother - it won't be long now. The children will be rescued and we'll all sing praises to God!
Blessings to you. JAH in disguise. Perfect. Tell me, brother. What is the view of Rastafarii on the present times. End of the world or just another season? Your mention of the pope seemed an unexpected twist. Peace.
Watch this, it uplifts and inspires. People really can perform acts of kindness. And the music is good too.
It will come, it will come.
You forgot who blaze the islands
No words, we are all children.
The Lord has placed children on our hearts, no? It is time for me to put my feet to the ground again. My job with children ended, but not my work. Thanks for the reminder.
Hint: Recently, I was refused a hotel room. I have no credit cards. I only had one, once and it was a trap. I had cash, and offered a deposit until they could inspect the room when I checked out. No!
The videos were priceless. I'm watching the sky.
Muta Baruka, Yasus Afari....I could hear them chanting the words you have written. I could hear the Nabinghi drums playing while they chant the words. I was chanting the words. This is splendiferous writing about a sad situation, and it's not only in Jamaica but all over the world. How can ignore the cry of the children?
Just keep em coming rasta , you know Muta lets it out and he has some serious mouth , we dis cuss him ever time .
Hi people.

Rasta1, how did I miss this? It's beautiful and sad but there is also love and hope because of people like you. RESPECT

Rasta, this is beautiful, touching and heartbreaking. Thank you. Not only should we not turn our backs on our children, but all mankind is made in God's image and deserves respect and compassion.
