War - Bob Marley Period 7/8

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

Jan 19

Evelin Bibiano Evelin Bibiano (Jan 19 2016 11:44AM) : I disagree with Bob Marley I don't believe there is ever going to be equality. more

There is never going to be equality because there is always a person who has more power than others for example a governor and a normal citizen are probably never going be treated the same no matter what their skin color is.Also a female and a male are never going to get equal rights since society has created false ideas that females are less.
