(19) THE GATHERING by MINERVA ©2004

We are Warriors beat by beat

As we gather I&I

Come from B4 B4 

Ancient time  Long gone by.

Some with Dred Locs some with not 

Many colors hearts the same Jah Rastafari.

Chantin’ drummin’ 

Singin’ Praise 

To the most High

Burnin’ deep within’ our hearts 

the true Warriors cry 

JAH… Rastafari.

Called Jesus, Hesus, Jah, Jehovah, Yaweh, Allah, Dali Lama, Shiva…….…Ohmmmm

I & I  NAM MYO HO RENGE KYO.

Yet I &I mission’s the same 

One ascertainable goal.

That we get to the next step,

Yes JAH is our Warrior Cry 

Powerful our kanke, life force, that will never die.

You see WE form the helm 

Of this New Day,

WE be the ones who see clear,

Know our calling and proudly adhere,

To our mission our aim

For us this is NOT a game. 

Our weapons, 

Our lives, 

No not perfect, 

In-fact beautifully flawed. 

Yet the precise tools to accomplish 

This most righteous cause.

Are YOU one of us 

Of the I & I Clan?

Do YOU too hear the law of truth 

From which we take our warrior stance?

Are YOU part of this gathering? 

Do YOU hear the Warrior call?

Then get up!

Brutha Marley says 

Stand Up!

Give Praise 

To the Most High - 

Jah Rastafari Halie Selassie I

May you have a blessed life & year
