RAS CARDO REGGAE

***(C)(P) WHEN I LOOK AT YOU HERE IS WHAT I SEE: AN OPEN ENDED TUBE FROM MOUTH TO ANUS. THIS IS CALLED THE HUMAN RACE WHO, WITHOUT LOVE, IS A TOTAL DISGRACE, EACH ONE TRYING TO FIND HIS PLACE IN THIS ETERNAL RAT RACE.I AM RAS CARDO!

***(C)(P) RESPONSIBILITY! AMERICANS LOVE TO SAY IT IS, WHAT IT IS. I, RAS CARDO SAY: RESPONSIBILITY IS FORESIGHT, NOT HINDSIGHT. IT IS LOOKING FAR BEYOND THE HERE AND NOW OF THE CONSEQUENCES WHICH WILL MOST SURELY FLOW FROM OUR ACTIONS OR IN ACTIONS. WE MUST SHOW YOUNG PEOPLE HOW TO LOOK FOR IT, EMBRACE IT, AND USE IT BY BEING IT. THIS IS WHAT WE SHOULD MEAN WHEN WE SAY IT IS, WHAT IT IS. IT IS SOMETHING , MUCH BETTER WHEN ITS SHARED.

***(C)(P) I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE DAY COME WHEN MEN WOULD NOT BE SO STUPID TO WAGE WAR AGAINST EACH OTHER. FOR NO ONE WINS A WAR, AND FOR ALL THOSE WHO THINK OTHERWISE, KNOW THIS: THOSE WHO GIVE THE OK TO START WARS ARE NEVER THE ONES WHO ARE DYING IN IT. PETER TOSH, BOB MARLEY, AND I REASONED ABOUT THIS BEFORE THEY WERE KILLED BY EVIL MEN. HAILE SELASSIE SPOKE ABOUT IT TOO. PETER'S LAST ALBUM WAS TITLED: NO NUCLEAR WAR. REGGAE AND RASTAFARI IS ALWAYS FOR PEACE. I, RAS CARDO SAYS: LETS ERASE THE HATE.

***(c)(p) REGGAE TRUTH THE REAL CULTURE YARD IN TRENCH TOWN WAS AT THE BACK OF MY TENEMENT YARD. WHAT THE MEDIA AND JAMAICA HAS CALLED CULTURE YARD WAS JUST ANOTHER PLACE WHERE BOB MARLEY AND SOME OF US USED TO VISIT. I WILL NOT DISCLOSE ANY FURTHER DETAILS OF THIS LOCATION BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THIS DETAILED INFORMATION IN THEIR ARSENAL. IT HAD A CERTAIN NAME. SO FAR, WHAT JAMAICA HAS ADVERTISED AS BOB MARLEY'S PLACE OF CAROUSING WAS NOT THE REAL TRENCH TOWN CULTURE YARD. THE JAMAICAN MEDIA HAS BEEN WRONG IN MANY THINGS REGGAE AND OF TRENCH TOWN, AND THEY REFUSED TO LEARN THE TRUTH FROM THOSE WHO KNOW IT, AND LIVED IT. I AM RAS CARDO FROM TRENCH TOWN. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED GLOBALLY.

**(c)(p) IT IS A GREAT JOY TO BE ABLE TO TOUCH PEOPLE, TO TOUCH THEIR LIVES, THEIR MINDS, THEIR CONDITIONS, TO HELP THEM SEE THAT THEY ARE NOT ALONE, THAT INDEED SOMEONE(YOU) CARED ABOUT THEM. THAT IS THE TRUE ESSENCE OF LIFE. THAT IS LOVE IN ITS PUREST SENSE. IT IS THE HIGHEST STANDARD TO LIVE UP TO, AND NOT MANY WANT THAT BURDEN, FOR INDEED THE ROAD IS NEVER EASY. THAT IS HOW I LIVE MY LIFE HELPING AND LOVING OTHERS. I AM RAS CARDO FROM TRENCH TOWN.

***(c)(p) M.O.M.S.= MOTHERS OF MURDERED SONS. WHEN I WROTE THIS IN MY BOOK (C) 2000 PROFILES IN COURAGE OF GHETTO MOTHERS ISBN # 1584700416 IT WAS DONE WITH THAT PASSION WITHIN ME FOR MY PEOPLE, AND THE LOVE I HAVE AND SEEN FROM THOSE WHO ARE POOR. I HAVE SEEN MANY LIVES GONE ASTRAY BECAUSE OF POVERTY AND THE WAYS IT FORCES SOME OF US TO LIVE HOMELESS IN PRISONS DRUG DEPENDENT LOSING ONE'S SENSE OF PURPOSE LOSING ONE'S LIFE. MY LIFE'S WORK SO FAR, IS SPENT IN HELPING OTHERS NOT TO LOSE THEIR WAY. THIS IS WHY I ALSO CREATED MY REGGAE TO HEAL THE NATIONS.
