- - - +++ The Anointed One +++- - - Poem by Justus Cyril E

1. From all conceptions...
with precepts, abiding within
the conclaves of a maternal comfort
I am formed...
Feet, Hands, Head and ALL

2. From the very first breath...
Bringing forth an eloquence
Of fervent praise mixed with
the innocent motives...
of a shepherd boy

3. I am called...
to perfect the proceedings
of the Heavenly band
As I beat my mystical drums
And Accord Divine Praises to JAH
with natures HARP of ten strings...

4. Though endowed with GRACE so un-explainable...
I became the least
and only co-existed amongst my brethren
As Paternal remorse of warmth,
Nay, I never felt

5. Even when confined
to the claws of a greasly BEAR
Even when enclosed
within the jaws of a full bearded CANINE cat
With HARPs & SONGs And Slings and STONES
I Did outpour the Valour of my CONQUEST

6. Though, it seems, I have been Forgotten...
Alone in the companies of sheep, wolves
and the SALIENT wilderness of grief
I make music and Melodies
That draws the birds to flight

7. Still in my lonesome state, ..
I attend to the necessities
of the mind, body, spirit and soul
while effecting a course
to perfect the enterprise of my Father

8. Absent from the Grand Council
That will determine the FATE
of a NATION Bound By LAW
Nominated By GOD
and Hated by ALL

9. ALAS! I am sort after
By the SUN, the MOON, the STARS
and BY my KINSMEN on the request
of the HEAVENS EMISSARY
As a SOLUTION for DISOBEDIENCE

10. Now...
the CAST is turned
the CROWN JEWELS - NOW, VACANT
and the SUN's ray becomes the MELODY
For a new SONG

11. My betters, did I BEST
With favours of the HEAVENS
and Fountains of OIL, the PROPHET
with HANDS trembling with age
from constant Handling of the horn GRACE

12. did POUR...
Upon my head
Upon my Beard
Upon my shin
and upon my FACE

13. Though the brightness,
an effect caused by a divine light
was Upon me
With Humility in the depth of my soul
and with trembling hands

14. I Did rise to meet with him
who has favoured me
As Words from my FATHER
STREAMS deeper into my spirit
I did pour out in songs

15. and behold with pure perception as...
A SOLEMN ASSEMBLY
An EXPECTANT gathering and...
A CHOSEN PEOPLE...
LOOKS UPON me with
the CHANTS of...
HAIL,

The ANOINTED ONE...
