War - Bob Marley

What life has taught me
I would like to share with
Those who want to learn

Until the philosophy which hold one race
Superior and another inferior
Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned
Everywhere is war, me say war

That until there are no longer first class
And second class citizens of any nation
Until the color of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the color of his eyes
Me say war

That until the basic human rights are equally
Guaranteed to all, without regard to race
Dis a war

That until that day
The dream of lasting peace, world citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion
To be persued, but never attained
Now everywhere is war, war

And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes
That hold our brothers in Angola, in Mozambique
South Africa sub-human bondage
Have been toppled, utterly destroyed
Well, everywhere is war, me say war

War in the east, war in the west
War up north, war down south
War, war, rumors of war

And until that day, the African continent
Will not know peace, we Africans will fight
We find it necessary and we know we shall win
As we are confident in the victory

Of good over evil, good over evil, good over evil
Good over evil, good over evil, good over evil

This song has the power to send out a powerful message about war and the equality of ones race. He talks about wanting equality to all races and while the gap of the superior and inferior between races is a reality today war is not over and never will until that is abandoned.

Jan 15

Yaridt Dominguez Yaridt Dominguez (Jan 15 2016 11:36AM) : There will always be a war because of the unequal rights in the U.S. from police brutality and other situations, if there is no peace all hell will break loose for those who are tired of the bs, that is, if the basic human rights are gauranteed.
