David and Goliath- The Dreadful MetaphorSo with the latest news reporting on the quote on quote police brutality that has been a 2 sided slide since the dawn of time. It has always been a game of Indians rockin' cowboys. The cowboys came into town and ran shop. Guns at hand we got the toys to play back your band. So it was a bound call unto nature for the native to play back the rock toss game. "Just tossin' back some rock words of wisdom to your abuse of power." The Rasta rebel warrior stood upon this call. A soulful pirate rockin' the back of the parking lot bobbin back to the boys with badges. Yeah I see your game, but I'm just calling a little attention to the entire situation. But respect was always of the matter. You got the power, I'm just here to put you into check. See it was the same game I had myself playing with Greenpeace. Hit the back of the parking lot an hour before noon and get your herbal meditation on. Crack open an enlightenment mint tea, putting a little more ritual against will. Hit the sidewalk pitch your game and stand for yourself. But the vibe I was vibin with Greenpeace was just fishy business over fishy business so I hit them back with a peace out and hit the parking lots to scope shit out myself. The same morality spoken upon the previous posted H.I.M speech he spoke of. I came to reveal that it was always a game of 50/50. Duality kept the life in check. See I had started playing myself rebel pirate as well. Bandanna in my back pocket, I'm pirate can't jah tell? Like I might wipe the print or just laugh off giving a hint. A gangsta trick pullin a lick. A pirate's life it was indeed. It got played more ways in one. But it always came down to morality and what was right and what was wrong? I had a game to play Robin Hood back. But that game was half sitting and half hitting the sack. The latest news was this revolt on this cop who killed a young black man out of St Louis. I didn't even follow the story, but word had it that it sounded like an instinct killing out of self defense and that this copper got caught upon stereotypical pre-judgment before the real story was out. Even the kids all the way out west had demonstrated by standing on the 5 highway in La Jolla this morning to stop police brutality. Then it kicked to an interview with the cop. All I can say is I can read a cold blooded killer when I see one and this was a case of the job had gotten the best of him. I had been ran through the system the past year and I can definitely testify to abuse of power and wrongful police force. I was even continually profiled afterwards for the image I took upon myself. Tackled blindsided just for walking the streets at night by myself. Doing nothing illegal. I was just a man who wanted to live in the image of JAH. A man who wanted to give into his femininity and grow his locs out. After all it brought discipline, patience and wisdom in the end. If I can't live and present myself my creator had imagined me in, I do not need to be judged by you or associated with you. And quite frankly here's some jah jah revelation if you judge others you are not living in his image. So I'm taking this holiday season with just myself and my creator to stand for this birth right. Judge me once shame on you. Judge me twice shame on me. Don't judge a book by his cover. I was just a kid thriving to stay true who liked talking God talk. My story is for my keeping you don't need to loathe in it if you do not please to. I speak truth and truth only.
