Above is a picture of a “uncle” his name is Ron he is never wrong. Uncle Ron is never wrong. “You tell me when i am wrong?” He wil say. Was sent to Germany after the war. To clear upp and deal with the aftermath of what went down. Ours was not to question but to honour and obey. He questions all things. Not afraid of anything. Loved his wife till she parted this earth for over 50 years. That is a real man.
Dont give upp on love. The realest love. It stil exists. Romantic sweet soulful love. The love where we feel loved and protected. The love our elders shared the commitment the sacrifice. The working towards shared goals. The calling you the needing the stupid easy silly times. That also is about your neighbour your family your endz your areas and those far away places….
Music matters it is me trade so download a track or two or a album or two greatly appreciated if you do. Via paypal please. This is a solo acoustic track “light upp the night” from the album NO TRUER WORDS – we have lit up many a night indeed as has Ron https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/light-upp-the-night
That be you dear gorgeous reader. You stunner dare i say you “Rasmali” or “GulabJaman”(asian sweets like me shalawar kameez???) Thats me talking to you in a way i do … you are sweet so sweet in our decadent western culture. That love is universal it heals it gives it is for all of us.
Universally there are humans longing and living and working to be with their loved ones sending vast amounts in little amounts so their families can live and breath and be well. Committing to heinous and vulgar ways to earn their money whilst the older black/migrant communities now side with their “masters” make fun of the new migrants vilify them and their children. Short memories false visions.
Ron knows the divide and conquer policy. Ron know about “them and “us” he knows how fascism works on all sides. The majority loose and the minority win. Its all about get what you can anyway anyhow…lie cheat beat hurt get that do that make that be that. Stand next to armed men/women and make sure you get what you came for. Weakness will not be respected. All is fair in love and war. All is war. I know that too well. All me life there has been war and death and sadness and betrayal some caused by me mostly by others and those who i chose to be with.
Music matters & it is me trade if you can download a track or two greatly appreciated or a album or two even better. To also to break upp the writing a track by our rock band East End Trinity https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/i-am-not-a-good-man i like to sing a line or two in me mother tongue. What is me mother tongue -have a listhen and see if you can guess. I have facebook insta twitter etc or this platform cuzz younger you can ask ???
The picture above is a “auntie” loved and respected. Also always teaching us to not loose our sense of humour as that is what makes us human.
Elders are to be respected thats a universal culture. It may not tick the boxes of the decadent western culture we are forced fed. As the decadent culture rapes and takes all that’s worthy and wonderful makes it into a commodity. Those mantras and chants we sing while they tear the heart of the jungle. For our decadent western needs. We have to drive we have to feed we have to need we need more little is not enough we have a drug /s which in essence all they do is make us want more. Sell our bodies our children our futures to the vulgar culture we are told pushed cajoled tempted to follow.
Back to Ron – For example when the Grenfell tower was burning in the uk in London June 2017 he cried he remembers the war he cried because the people who died in that Grenfell were the people that society should care for. He cried because innocent lives were lost for greed for progress or the simple fact that those that were involved in that business knew that those who would live in those buildings were from poor migrant backgrounds or simply working class front-line “fodder”.
I was told by those working class communities that i was immersed in. If you want to be successful in this united kingdom in anything let alone the music business. There are certain things that must not be spoken about. In any western entertainment business. In this GREAT BRITAIN. Was also told DON’T talk about Class. Or the have and have lots. DON’T dress that way. DON’T look that way and “play the white man why do you want to make trouble?”. I was told “you are more us then us”. I know. I am more you then you. Thank you.
There are many good people from all walks of life actually getting on with saving lives. There is a high rate of suicide in westernised and the west culture and other cultures. The t- shirt above says Break The chain Music – I have much respect for this organisation and mission – it also talks about freeing the shackles of the mind. Addictions trauma oppression bullies and the bullied why??? How do we deal with it??? so check the link and support good humans trying to do good things. Practice not preach. Live it dont talk it. https://www.instagram.com/breakthechainworldmission/
Ron has always been telling me to shut me mouth. Do YOU want to end up poor for the rest of your life? They wont like it Babar. The proverbial”they”. Are you a they?? What are you Babar ?? “A Jamaican cockney with some Indian thrown in “. I am what i am. I like me. self love a creation of all the above. More African i like to think it has been pointed out i am more Irish then the Irish. Go figure??
He has said that i write some good songs. Ron has taste. Ron recognises quality. Ron knows. For example He and i love the Eagles the “American Beatles”not as good as the Beatles i think BUT….. He and I share a love of those sweet melodies and those heartfelt love songs. We believe in love and the power of it.
Music that matters it is our trade. Download a track or two a album or two. Here is a song that is a long story about love lost and found “happy endings” and also it captures strong female characters. All the women i have loved and was raised by are very strong. Lionesses each and every one. the sound of this is what i call thebabarluckworldcitizenfolkband (TBLWCFB) https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/love-is-the-greatest-force-on-this-earth
I love to make music in a wide variety of styles. We love to love. Love is the key to open the heart of the coldest. I have been with and surrounded by extreme humans. None more extreme then those aunties and uncles that i was raised by and told by them to “shut up”.
Elders have said because of the stance we take and love we give We all must remember that’s its the truest love if we see someone harming themselves or others we with LOVE will speak we with LOVE will block we with LOVE will do all we can with what we have LOVE is to protect to nurture to care to help those who need help. That is compassion. That is a moral duty. All we can do is try.
Sadly and it must be said and be warned so you are not hurt or surprised …Those that love you may turn their backs on you and jump to the masters riddim for a easier life. I know this. You know this. I don’t blame or throw stones remember i am a “stone catcher” its a easier life to sleep and have fun and dance to the masters riddim …
Ron knows. He told me many moons ago. He told me about my choices. He knows what i am.
I am another him in a way not as great ….and that’s why we work and work and work -then we rest and have fun or simply sit in silence -and do the art the music because for me that’s like digging holes going up ladders “we are the champion concrete mixers” we are the workers of this world in our way and we shall continue to be the best we can regardless of our chosen few that control us confuse us and try and stop us – LOVE IS ALWAYS THE WINNER
So dear humanity. Head up be fearless. Til next time
