Did you see him?

Did you see him?

A Poem by Abdul Batin Osman Bey
"

inspired by my Rastafari friends

"

Why do you tell me someday Christ will come?

Where have you been?

He came, he reigned

In all Biblical glory

 

Did you not see him?

Is it possible that you knew him yet looked away?

Why are you confused?

Looking at me with bonker eyes

I swear

Christ came

In the name of all orthodox pride

His new name was Haile Selassie I
