Haile Selassie The Christ God

To me it does seem for to say the least odd
That Rastafarians believe the late Haile Selassie is God
Though doubtless when living he had God on his side
When he was Emperor of Ethiopia at least a million of Ethiopians of malnutrition died

He owned ninety percent of the wealth of Ethiopia whilst millions of Ethiopians were in dire poverty
For one proclaimed by some as a God he seemed greedy to me
Eventually as many of his kind are he was overthrown
And of how he died remains as unknown

For the awful famine in Ethiopia some with him share the shame
But then as Emperor and a very wealthy man he must take most of the blame
For the plight of many of his Country's people who died in a horrible way
Yet to Rastafarians the Christ to whom they kneel to and pray

Haile Selassie the Christ God lived as a billionaire for most of his life span
And as Emperor of Ethiopia he has overthrown and died as a tainted man
But Jamaican Rastafarians look up to him as a supreme being of the sky
Why a deceased flawed mortal is adored as a God one must wonder why?
