Sizzla is an amazing artist. His message is about the upliftment of mankind and the proliferation of life. The homsexual lifestyle does not promote life, nor bring forth life. Sizzla's message is that these acts need to be purified. Fire is the method of purification, so "bun babylon and all sodomite and battyman".
Fire is used in many aspects of life, so fire is a powerful method of purification. When we cook we use fire, when we drive it is fire to power the engine. Fire makes many aspects of our life much easier. He is speaking metaphorically. One also needs to look at Caribbean culture to understand why artists such as Sizzla speak out against homesexuality. In history many slaves and their descendants were sodomized by the masters, it is something that degraded the people and was used to abuse the males. It is also an act that degrades the Black family on top of the other psychological trauma inflicted upon people of color throughout time such as the separation of the family unit for profit.
So, yes there is much purification that needs to be done. Sizzla lyrics encompass the entire story of the African experience in the diaspora. Which includes the upliftment of the African woman to the status of Queen, and the healing of post-slavery trauma which is suffered widely, The way to begin that mental healing proces is through purification.
Sizzla is not killing homosexuals, he is calling for purification of the mentality that allows some to live life in that way. So, he is always burning a fire to keep that process of cleansing at the forefront.
I WILL BE AT THE SHOW WITH MY LIGHTER CALLING FOR PURIFICATION OF THE FOULPLAY THAT CONSTANTLY KEEPS THE WORLD IN TURMOIL
Instead of picketing and hating on Sizzla, take up a donation for Hurricane Katrina victims.
PEACE AND LOVE FOR EVERYONE!
