     Okay, I should start by saying this tune might be the most accessible non-esoteric work of Midnite. Usually Vaughn delivers us deep esoteric works full of African mysticism and etymology. "Children of Jah" isn't lacking in any power or greatness because of it's accessibility. In fact, it's one of my favorite Midnite tracks due to it's simplicity and beauty.

     The song is as much of a tribute to miracle of the the human race as it is a warning and cautionary tale. The "Wordsmith" Vaughn lays out several historical and modern examples of the endless bounds human intellect and intelligence can attain. However, Vaughn delivers it to us the listeners in a way that should make us reflect on what path we have chosen or have yet to choose.

     The path conscious ones should choose is obvious; the path of creation, and the path of evil is presented as wicked science and pure destruction.

     The video is filmed in the USVI (United States Virgin Islands), where the band Midnite formed. Within are scattered clips from various sources which help to illustrate the message Vaughn is delivering. I feel Vaughn is not necessarily telling us that the field of "science" itself is evil, but a very dangerous tool in the hands of un-conscious human beings.

     "Keep your faith when scientific innovation is the leader" is a good example of the cautionary words I speak of. We Rastafari are forced to adapt and live within the modern world, but it doesn't mean we should abandon our principles and livity as many of my self-labeled "Rastafari" brethren and sistren have. There is hope, and that hope is ethics above science.
