The probing mind of Carden Michael has given us some engaging poetry.
The title itself is haunting and mysterious, I feel both pride and pleasure writing this foreword. The pride is found in the memory of seeing this young man's determination to get his
message out. The pleasure is derived from admiration for the unrelenting and informed gift of that which resonates within the bowels of Carden Michael.
Doubtless, the author was first claimed by this poetry because it has the drumbeat and sweat of one who lived amongst the struggles. His continuing interest must have been sustained by the God who inspired him to shine through his poetry. Carden takes us through puzzling moods and cryptic insights having such vividness that they seemed to be an embodiment, a personal reserve that has finally been released. He
examines a wide range of topics borne out of different circumstances from religion to liberty, not negating our contemporary issues.
Readers will find particularly helpful the artful way Carden develops the lyric giving each one significance. He dares us to believe that there lies within a gift that God has given to every one of us. Many people do not realize this gift and it remains untapped. We are indebted to Carden for lifting up this unique style of poetry. This book is a necessary tool in the land of those who crave for changes.

With the advent of some young men and women of African decent, lost in a maze of Euro centric mis-education, appears a spirited shoeless wonder armed with a pen, and a sheet of paper. Carden A. Michael writings, in its various forms expresses in Universal language the missteps that have been taken by these young adults, and the new methods that must be employed to correct these "cosmetic illusion".
The mystical rising star of this young writer/poet is definitely heading beyond the horizon. His contribution is by no means phenomenal, if we understand genetic memory and the guiding hands of the ancestors that have channeled every maneuver of his pen. In his writing you feel the pain and sad emotions on one side of his work, and on the other side, the depth of his willingness to assist in correcting the atrocities that befell a powerful people.
He encourages the young in his inscription to wake up from their deep slumber and pursuit true knowledge at its highest level, and they are reminded that they are educable and they are the intelligentsia. The important work of this writer/poet Carden A. Michael has come from yesterdays past to deliver a compelling message for tomorrow.

Vision From A Distance/ By Carden A. Michael
Beyond the horizon; I see vision from a Distance.
I look not into your crystal ball;
To tell me about my fortune or misfortune,
I heed not to your psychic to tell me what lies ahead of me.
Yet, I rather the wound of a side kick;
Than For your psychic, to mess with my psyche.

Beyond the horizon, I see a vision pure and Clean,
Vision like running stream.
I see vision which crystallize my life.
I see vision when the lightning;
Shineth from the west,
And lighteth up the east.
I see vision when the lightning
Flashes from the north,
Then onward to the south,

Some magical powers,
For I see vision, which persuaded me from
Walking the broad road.
I see vision, which kept me from becoming Perishable.

Battering Down/ By Carden A. Michael
The battering down of tribulation is a continual process,
And it will attack you,
Even in the lowest state of your desperation.
You may want to escape from the wounds of its affliction, And enter into seclusion.
But you will be surrounded by loneliness and depression,
But you will be surrounded by loneliness and depression,
You may want to venture out into the jungle to find a peace of
mind;

But you will be trespassing upon the premises of Lions,
Tigers, Hyenas, Vipers and Cheetahs.
There is no hiding place down here.
Where are you trying to run?
Live among your foe,
Face your enemy,
There is no place to hide.

Only the poor knows what it means to feel destitute,

Getting familiarized with words, makes me wonder,
How can I deliver a speech eloquently?

Prophet And Messengers/ By Carden Michael
PROPHETS AND MESSENGERS
Prophets and Messengers.
When prophets and messengers trod this Earth, they walked not this Earth looking like Prince, Elvis Presley, and Michael Jackson.
But they walked this Earth with blood in their eyes, and fire in their mouths. They came not through illusion, but they were chosen to clean up confusion in a world misguided by delusion.
When prophets and messengers trod this earth, they came as Abraham, Walking through the wilderness, offering sacrifices and seeking the Master insight, and doing his business.
They came as Lot living in Sodom, before the messenger lit the fire and devoured Gomorrah.
Came as Moses on mouth Sinai with a rod in his hand, he whopped Pharaoh, and led Israel to the promise land.
Came as David, a shepherd boy, chosen to be king, fought the Philistines, Assyrians, Moabites and Ammonites,
Came as Elijah the mystical phenomena, wore a mantle, smashed graven images, and executed false prophets.
Came as Daniel, stood defiant, affirmed by his conviction, cast into the lions’ den,
Escaped Lions’ jaws, and stood triumphantly,
Came as John The Baptist, bore witness of the Christ, wore raiment of camel hair, and Leather girdle about his loins.
When prophets and messengers walked this earth, they came here doing the Master’s will, with blood in their eyes, and fire in their mouths. They came not through illusion or delusion, but through the cosmic force, to chant down Babylon and clean up corruption.

Dry Bones: By Carden A. Michael
INTRODUCTION
By Carden Michael
Dry Bones, is a compilation of short stories, essays, and poetry taken from my portfolio. This collection of works has put me through different vibratory moods as illustrated in the poem "Solemn Song." It describes when loved ones mourn for the spirits that make their transition from this tedious life of bondage to the great beyond. This project also encompasses a social and political stance on past and present day situations. As a literary work, it is conjoined with spiritual and soulful heartbeat rhythms. This book has put me into time and space, traveling through the atmosphere, trying to find my place amongst the heavenly constellation. Dry Bones is definitely the most passionate, adventurous and intense project I have ever worked on.
The title also describes and depicts a people who were captured and sold on the action block for capital gain. This is a people who were duped, beaten, and bamboozled for over five hundred years. This is a people according to the prophecy of Ezekiel, were lost from time and knowledge. They were destroyed because of the lack of knowledge. They live physically, yet they are spiritually dead. Historically and prophetically these people are the black people who are scattered, and dispersed throughout the Americas and the West Indies. These black people "are the true Israelites indeed."
When I look at the condition of my people it grieves my heart to see the sad state that they live in. I can see there is a dire urgency for my people to be saved from self-destruction. I have never seen a race of people who are as perplexed and who hate themselves as my people do. All other tongues and nations, love, uphold, and respect their culture, but the black man has lost his culture, identity and Kingdom. Instead, he has switched his culture to vulgarity, and lives as a puppet and a traitor in another man’s kingdom. Yet, he continues to foster his own demise by causing havoc upon himself.
To date, Dry Bones is the third book I have written. The first book was entitled, Vision From A Distance, and the second is, God The Triumphant Revolutionary. Apart from my books, I have also released a twenty-five track CD of dub poetry entitled Wise Men.
The author, Carden Michael is just a simple brother living in this dispensation, observing and feeling the wrath of wicked Babylon. I and I is a native son of St Vincent and the Grenadines, and is a past student of the Chateaubelair Government School and the Petit Bordel Junior Secondary School. After leaving school as a qualified fool, I was bound to fantasy and obscure darkness, searching for reality. After my discharge from school, I then applied for a fellowship at a street college and was accepted. Thereafter, I obtained a degree in common sense. Then, I went on to the University of Life where I was successfully awarded two degrees, one in Wisdom and the other in Knowledge. My degrees are proudly hung from the depths of my heart.
My passion for life is grounded in wisdom, knowledge, truth, equality, and justice. I live in a world where oppression is prominent, and rampant with belligerent tyrants. I see injustice and his accomplice, inequality as the bogeymen of the day. As the thoughts of the oppressed are curtailed by the Luciferian clique, they are hesitant to speak when they see the blatancy of injustice. Yet, my mission is to awaken slumbering mentality, and to speak truth, and nothing but the truth, so that the oppressors would take heed and let my people go.
In these days of fiery serpents, trials, brutalization, tribulation, and biting scorpion; the devil roams and plunders. While he is out on parole I pray that you may have a safe journey, and I hope you may do the same for me. Jah loves you, and so do I. I am your true and faithful servant, the irrepressible, Drastic Carden Alphonso Michael
God, The Triumphant Revolutionary: Carden A. Michael
INTRODUCTION
By Carden Michael.
This is my second volume of poetry. The first is called "Vision
From A Distance." This book is a collection representing many
poems I have written over the years. It also contains short stories and a poetic essay on God The Triumphant Revolutionary. However, most of my poems are about Black Consciousness and they discuss the stinging effects of slavery, colonialism and capitalism.
From A Distance." This book is a collection representing many

Let me say that this Black Consciousness theme is not meant
to offend people from different nationalities -- for we the black
people of the Earth have suffered the worst amongst humankind.
The tenacious implications of the oppressor’s conspiracy is still in
place-- our cities and countries are under siege. Our so-called leaders
are an extension of the Europeans’ domination. While the rigid
forces perpetuate genocide and starvation, our natural resources
are being thieved by the Europeans, Arabs, Asians and East Indians.
From my observation, I see a people who need to cleanses
themselves from the prolonged degradation and stagnation of the
white man’s indoctrination. Therefore, I personally feel the urge to
counteract the devilish forces that have kept my people under tributary,
subjugation, and tribulation for over four hundred years. I
also feel that our leaders have a moral obligation to find a solution
to free the oppressed from the yoke and bondage of oppression. If
they fail to do so, the consequences of extinction would be immi -
nent. Yet, if we seek divine guidance and wisdom, we will surely
pass the test.

The message of Black empowerment needs to be taught in
our homes, in our places of worship and at schools. We should all
feel proud to know that we are black; we should all know the
potential of being black, for our God is Black.

About the title of this book -- I strongly felt the urge to
used the title God The Triumphant Revolutionary because it is
prophetic, and it’s a spiritual inspiration about the embodiment of
God in man. If you seek Him. He will reveal unto you what was hid -
den from the wise and prudent. Yet, some might repudiate me, and
may think that the title of this book is absurd and beyond the
bounds of piety and decorum. But those who understand mysticism
and spirituality, may also know that The Power that holds the
galaxy in space is greater than any atomic bomb. As David said in
the 20th Psalm ( v. 7): "Some trust in chariots, and some in horses:
but we will remember the name of the Lord." The reason why I
use this quotation from Psalms is that there are many people who
think that the United States of America is the power of the World.
But I want to tell them that they are wrong, for David the Psalmist
also declared in the 46th Psalm (v. 8-10): "Come, behold the works
of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the Earth. He
maketh war to cease unto the end of the Earth; he burneth the
chariot in the fire. Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted
among the heathen, I will be exalted in the Earth." And again in the
89th Psalm (v. 13-14): "Thou has a mighty arm, strong is thy hand.
Justice and judgment are the habitation of his throne, For thou will
save the afflicted people, but wilt bring down high Looks."

I must ask, could the United States ever stand up to the
Almighty even if it is combined with Russia, England, Japan, China,
Pakistan, India, France, Germany, Italy, North and South Korea,
along with the Arab World? He is the one and only Super Power
of the Universe, hence the warmongers of this planet must know
that He is lightning, thunder, earthquake, Tsunami, tornado, fire and
brimstone. Let Jah be praised.

Vision From A Distance: Carden A. Michael
Version From A Distance is a collection of folklore, short stories, and poetry. It deals with a high level of spiritual awareness, black consciousness, political corruption and social issues.
But above all, the primary objectives are to recognize God as the Supreme Creator of this Magnificent Universe. Once men fail to coincide with their Maker, the survival of their existence will be detrimental.
Therefore, I plea to men to flee from perversion, licentious acts, oppression, fascism, racism and bigotry, if not the evidence of that which I have seen will not depart from the plains of Babylon. Men do change, time and season likewise, but the righteous judgement of Almighty God would not. Matt 24:15, 17, tell you, when you see the abominable and destructive thing which the prophet Daniel foretold standing on holy ground (let the reader take note!) Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: I feel strongly on making this point, because there is a fraction of unscrupulous men in our society , who has never imparted justice to the poor, instead, they sit in high places and afflict the poor. I am here to let them know that their time is limited, and that their cities are under siege.
On highlighting the Black consciousness, I see the need for reconstruction in order to mobilize my people in the right direction. Also to re- educate oneself from mental slavery and to detoxify ones mind from neocolonialism, colonial superiority and Black inferiority. It is ironic to know that our people's minds are locked by an ideology, which suppressed their mental capacity to think and to function independently.
(1) And ideology which teaches that we are less than human being.
(2) Their philosophy which deprived us from our culture and forces us to accept theirs.
(3) Their misconception and propaganda which caused self hatred, low self esteem and psychological effect amongst our people.
However degrading or complicated situation may looked, I urge you to believe in yourself, and to know that you were perfected in the likeness and image of God. There is no need for you to feel belittle, or settle for little. May the love and peace of God be with those who seeks after righteousness.
Malcolm X Quotes
Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery.
Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.
I am for violence if non-violence means we continue postponing a solution to the American black man's problem just to avoid violence.
I believe in a religion that believes in freedom. Any time I have to accept a religion that won't let me fight a battle for my people, I say to hell with that religion.
I believe in human beings, and that all human beings should be respected as such, regardless of their color.
I don't even call it violence when it's in self defense; I call it intelligence. I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it's for or against.

The KING OF KINGS SPEAKE ON EDUCATION Education has value as it is established in individuals of good character with respect for GOD. The salvation of our country, Ethiopia , as we repeatedly stated to you lies primarily in education. As Ethiopia is one. All Ethiopians are also one, and education is the only way to maintain this condition.
We believe that from truth alone is born liberty and that only an educated people can consider itself as really free and master of it’s fate. It is only with an educated people that representative and democratic organs can exercise their influence for national progress.
As the gospel tells us, a house built upon strong foundations can never be overthrown by storms. Similarly, when people are built up with minds well formed by education and knowledge. No trial of whatever kind can conquer them. “EDUCATION IS THE LAUREL OF THE WISE MAN /GO AND TEACH

If there is no struggle, there is no progress.
Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning.
It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.
It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake.
Man's greatness consists in his ability to do and the proper application of his powers to things needed to be done. Frederick Douglas
