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.

***(C)(P) CRIME HAS BECOME THE PREOCCUPATION OF GENUISES IN THIS TECHNOTYRANNICAL TWITTERING SOCIETY. THERE ARE THOSE WHO WILL SHOW A LOVE/HATE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE REST OF THE POPULUS.

***(c)(p) THERE ARE BASICALLY THREE TYPES OF MEN IN RELATIONSHIP CIRCLES. PROVIDERS, PROTECTORS, PARASITIC. THE PROVIDERS WORK AND PROVIDE FOR FAMILY. THE PROTECTORS WILL PROTECT FAMILY AT ALL COST. THE PARASITES WILL LET SOMEONE ELSE DO THE WORK AND PROVIDE WHILE THEY ALSO PARTAKE OF THE BOUNTY. LOVE IS SHOWN BY THOSE WHO PROVIDE AND PROTECT, BUT THE PARASITES CARES ABOUT ONLY WHAT THEY CAN GET FROM THE HOST. LOVING THE HOST IS ABSENT.

***I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE DAY WHEN MY REGGAE WILL FINALLY FREE AMERICA AND AFRICA, BUT THE WAY AMERICA IS HEADING I HAVE TO SERIOUSLY DOUBT THAT WILL HAPPEN ANYTIME SOON. RACISM, BIGOTRY AND HATE HAS DEVOURED AMERICA TO GREAT DEPTHS, BUT I MUST KEEP ON TRYING.

**(C)(P) SO, I ASK AMERICA WHAT COLOR OF SKIN PEOPLE HAVE YOUR JOHN LOCKE LIFE, LIBERTY, AND PROPERTY IN THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS PHILOSOPHY? VIOLENCE HAS ALWAYS BEEN WHAT DEFINES YOU. WHITES RAN FROM RELIGIOUS OPPRESSION AND PERSECUTION IN EUROPE TO AMERICA. BLACKS CAME TO AMERICA AS FORCED SLAVE LABOR TO WHITES ON PLANTATIONS. I WILL SAY TO AMERICA VIOLENCE WILL NOT SAVE YOU. RACISM AND HATE WILL NOT SAVE YOU. EUGENICS WILL NOT SAVE YOU. JAH WILL MOVE THE EARTH FROM UNDER YOUR FEET. YOU STILL HAVE SOME TIME TO SAVE YOURSELF. NO ONE WINS A WAR. WISE UP!!!

***(C)(P) I WAS THE FIRST TO CREATE A YOUTH GROUP AND CLUB TO FOCUS ON THE EDUCATION OF YOUTHS IN TRENCH TOWN AND SURROUNDING AREAS. THIS WAS IN 1963 WHILE I WAS STILL A STUDENT AT ST. GEORGES COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL. TRENCH TOWN WILL ALWAYS BE MY WATER HOLE FROM WHICH I SHALL DRINK OF AFRICA TO QUENCH MY THIRSTTHIS IS ALSO ONE OF MY MANY ORIGINAL QUOTES.

***(C)(P) FOR YEARS THE YOUTHS OF AMERICA KEEP TELLING ME THIS: I'M BORED! WHEN I ASK THEM WHY, THEY HAVE NO ANSWER. MY CONCERN GOES DEEPER I ASK, HOW CAN YOUR LIFE BE SO EMPTY IN A LAND OF PLENTY? THAT'S WHEN I BEGIN TO SHARE MY REGGAE EDUCATION WITH THEM. ITS GOOD TO SEE THEM DEVELOP A SENSE OF PURPOSE AFTER THAT DISCOURSE.

***(C)(P) MY TRENCH TOWN CREATED REGGAE IS A SPIRITUAL MISSION, NOT A COMPETITION, OR SOMETHING TO FOLLOW AIMLESSLY WITH BLIND AMBITION. IT IS SACROSANCT, AND FOR A HEALING OF THE NATION. THIS IS ALL EMBODIED IN MY REGGAE EDUCATION/R.A.S.P.E.C.T1

CARDONATION THIS IS AN ASCRIBED COINED WORD USED TO RAS CARDO REGGAE FROM TRENCH TOWN PERTAINING TO HIS WORKS FOR THE PEOPLE. IT IS THE HEALING WHICH COMES FROM THE GIVING AND RECEIVING OF REGGAE'S BLESSINGS, VIRTUES, AND REWARDS. IN ROOTS TRENCH TOWN CLOSE CIRCLES, IT IS THE HEALING OF THE NATION WHICH COMES FROM RAS CARDO REGGAE EDUCATION. THIS IS KNOWN AS CARDONATION. YOU MUST EDUCATE IN ORDER TO LIBERATE USING RAS CARDOS REGGAE. IT ALSO REFERS TO THE BUILDING OF A NATION BY REGGAE'S HEALING AND LIBERATION OF THE PEOPLE WITH MUSIC. ONE MUST NOTE: IT IS NOT YET IN COMMON USAGE, BUT IT WILL. IT IS NOT ABOUT BUYING, SELLING OR DRIVING CARS. DO NOT GET IT CONFUSED LIKE THE WAY SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT RADIOLOGY MEANS FIXING RADIOS. CARDONATION IS STRICTLY DEFINED!!

***(c)(p) MY QUOTES ARE LIKE AN ENDLESS STREAM IN THE REALITY OF LIFE. THOSE WHO LEARN FROM WHAT I SHARE BECOME THE GROUND PENETRATING, MESMERIZING FORCES, SEEN BUT UNSEEN, TO WHICH NO TECHNOLOGY CAN DETECT. THE FORCES WHICH TRAVERSES THE BLOOD BRAIN BARRIER LEAVING NO VISIBLE MARK ON THE M.R.I IMAGES.
