The Earth Most Strangest Man: The Rastafarian by Mortimo Planno | |
The walk across the Long passage, from the edge of the blue Nile to Benin sometimes took as long as three months. I an I was so strong that it still marvel pale face how I an I manage to live across the passage Journey. Many Brethren Succummed upon this Journey while other's reach this great Slave Market. There was other Slave Market in West Africa but Benin spell something in I mind I know the feeling of attachment and the only attachment that Represent such feeling is Slavery. I an I became conscious to this fact, that this test was to prove the determination of the present generation. The Ethiopians is known for their great strength in there feet. It is proven today all Marathon Races is won by Ethiopians so long as Ethiopia enters. I an I uses this long walk to day to meet the economical pressure and the confusion of the People who I an I know. Having a vale over the eyes which are moving away slowly So I an I Brethren no more Blind but are seeing the new changes of creation.
At Benin Slave Market all Slaves were put into a great big cage or normally a slave Pen The European Trader's would then Negociate and bargain with Captor's and make there selection of the type of slaves he needed chiefly male slave to plant sugar. So I an I family faces the bitter sight of Breaking up of I an I family system. View the complexieties of the Slave System whole family of small tribe were taken away one time At Benin Slave Market one trader would buy your Father a Uncle one of your Brother and left you and your Mother then another trader comes along and Buy you and if your Mother feeling lonely just say buy me too that I may go with my baby; her treatment would be of such undescrible. The entire family sometime just able to look at each other and say goodbye from the heart, but better not from the Lips for the judgement of the pale face then was so heart rending has left scars upon the minds of I an I in Our Songs I an I sings:
I an I know that the light shine and the slave master was able to see it. I an I came down in San Salvador the Bottom-less pit. But I an I God who I an I serve swore unto I an I with a oath promising I an I to come down to visit I an I in the pit of Hell. All this took time to mainfest but it was written That the isles must wait upon His law. I an I waited and He came to the Isles and I an I was satisfied while pale face were vilified other I an I cannot describe, Saw H.I.M and say Truth. Seen?
