Iron
Lion
Oh
how the people weep.
For
the extinguished light.
But
never ever did you,
fail
us, or give up the fight.
A
briefest of time,
you
graced this mortal coil.
And
yet somehow even beyond,
you
are walking deftly upon our soil.
A
voice that roared,
with
a mighty spiritual power.
Talking
peace and loving harmony,
until
your last sacred hour.
High
on the mount Zion,
we
still hear your perfect peace.
You
took us to a place of hope,
where
eternal love can never cease.
I
sadly never knew you,
or
shook your hand with love.
I
wonder would you speak,
share
the secrets from above.
Your
people never forget,
just
what you'd meant to them.
A
Ras-tafarian peoples hero,
in
our spirits Bob, you live again.
A
mystery you took so ill,
but
bravely fought to live.
The
legacy you leave behind,
shows
the tremendous spirit that you give.
I
consider you my brother,
feel
the love that drove you on.
In
this spirit of love you proved,
how
our race could all be one...
One
love....
This is my tribute to a great man of peace.
Go and watch Marley the movie soon and you too will learn just what a wonderful spirit Bob Marley was/is and will be forever.
