Thief Is In The Vineyard

“Thief is in the vineyard / Trying to spoil the harvest” – Congo
there is a small elite of so-called “powerful” people attempting to reshape our world without thought to consequence beyond their own greed. they are the thieves, and our Earth is the vineyard. they think they can destroy our planet and take what they want by keeping us so broke and distracted that we won’t rise up. the Jamaican soul rebels on this mixtape were fighting similar forces 50 years ago. let’s listen to what they have to say while we rise up and clear our vineyard of thieves.
