[hometext] => Imagine you are on a bus on a journey to your future, your dream, both yours and your family's hope. Then suddenly you decide to get off of the bus and walk instead. Walk, the whole distance. Is it pride? Is it defiance? Or is it just plain foolishness?
[bodytext] => Di whole distance mi ah walk Mi ah walk di whole distance, man Over there, some people ah run, dem ah run like Usain Bolt; dem have talent There some people ah drive, dem ah drive 'cos dem have cars; dem have moni Bloodclot, mi even see some people ah fly, dem ah fly 'cos dem have wings; dem have feathers And also, mi see some people ah claim dem ah walk, kiss mi teet Dem cuda walk but dem bend and dem cut corners, so dem walk ah crooked Dem ways ah crooked Jah, dem whole life ah rasclot crooked But I, Rasta, with mi two legs mi ah walk Mi ah walk up and man, if mi nuh walk right 'Pon dat straight and narrow mi ah walk Mi ah walk swiftly 'cos time ah wait for nobody, yuh know? Even when mi bones ah weak, mi walk Sometimes, mi cudah walk slow but bredren, yuh never wudah see me moan Yuh never wudah see me moan Mi ah walk till mi reach mi destination Mi ah walk till mi left Babylon If mi nuh walk till mi feet ah touch Zion Even if yuh cut mi legs mi ah crawl Mi ah crawl hard inna di dirt Mi ah wiggle Mi ah make bloodclot sure mi left mi mark 'pon dis earth Mi ah make sure yuh never cuda erase dem Mi ah make sure di whole world cudah trace mi steps Even tho' mi past nuh pretty like mi face, mi stll ah left mi rasclot trace Mi ah left mi trace 'cos mi nuh waan di youths a do di same mistakes mi do But dem, dem ah run b'cos dem nuh fit ah walk Dem ah drive 'cos dem nuh fit ah walk Dem ah fly 'cos dem nuh fit ah walk And dem ah set sail 'cos dem nuh fit ah walk When yuh walk, yuh left footprints, yuh know? And by yuh footprints, dem cuda trace yuh By yuh footprints dem cudah know yuh By yuh footprints, if dem nuh catch yuh Di reason why dem nuh fit ah walk ah dat But Rasta, Rasta ah walk Inna di night, inna di day mi ah walk Inna di heat, inna di rain, mi ah walk When some people, dem destination ah reach and some people outta various reason ah quit, mi ah keep walking Di whole distance mi ah walk with mi head high With Jah inna mi heart, mi ah walk di whole bloodclot distance.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
