"Real with Jah" is a book of poetry that deals honestly and frankly with Rastafari, faith, character, and modern issues. It starts out urging meaningful connection with God. That theme runs throughout the book. While encouraging faith, it also warns about falling into the world of sin, or being led by the world into faithlessness. Faith requires commitment as well as strength. The Rasta man in particular is urged to be a leader, as his values (if upheld properly) can redeem the world. "Real with Jah" points to a progressive breakdown in social existence as the world relegates itself to artificial intelligence and online activity. Its poetry reveals a troubling atmosphere in light of current leadership, the abandonment of civility and civil discourse, the threats to civil rights, and the rise of hate language and activity. While on the one hand "Real with Jah" points out these problems, it on the other hand demands or hints at personal responsibility in rectifying these issues. The book provides insight into the status quo. It points a finger, not in an effort to merely accuse, but more so in an effort to effect change. Where guilt is laden, the guilty must take action to rectify a problem they've caused. Where forgiveness is warranted, the offended must forgive. "Real with Jah" provides avenues for both processes, which can only lead to real human progress. A person having the right attitude and mindset is central to this book's message. It urges him or her to focus on personal development spiritually, physically, and mentally. It beckons him to assess the world and make a meaningful contribution. It implores him to truly love. What one gains from reading this book and heeding its call are completion as a human being, and an exemplary character.
