December 5, 1934 ... Italy attacks WalWal, Ethiopia. Propoganda and rumours of war... guh dung! InI must remember and salute di i-ncient patriarchs. Hail Haile Selassie I! Empress Menen, InI I-ma of I-ration, Iyata I.

... Ethiopia is I concern, jamaican flag fi burn!

This is a seriuos piece I, you know although the people in Government at the time had a great part to play on the social and economic consequences of Jamaica, the IMF and World Bank had even greater roles with their policies and conditions for loans, I see where your anger comes from but star dont turn your back on the country, in doing so you turn your back on the people who are there as well.
Give thanks for your position inlife now, pass your blessings on the seed to which growth is an uncertainty.
We have to do what we can to at least try to turn the tables for our children and garuantee them their basic rights.


Respect and blessings, One Perfect Love
