A Eulogy to
ROBERT NESTA MARLEY
On
this day, 34 years ago, at the completion of his divine mission, and in
accordance to his earlier prophesy, Mr. Robert Nesta Marley “flew away [back]
home” to rest on the everlasting arm of the Spirit of TIME that brought about his
existence 36 years earlier.
Within
the recent history of humankind, Mr. Marley was one of, (if not,) the most
intriguing human that ever lived. He possesses an unrivaled charisma with unparalleled
intellectual ability which he applies generously to his work in furtherance of
his vision for social reform.
Mr. Marley was well aware that basic application
of love and unity were the only sociable solution for global peace. And therefore,
in one of his work titled “Wake-Up and live”
he systematically described the commitment required of each of us if we are to achieve
the societal progress that we desired. And, in preparedness to achieving the
aforesaid, he encourages the youth to consider the options of meaningful entrepreneurship
as a necessary step towards self-reliance by reference of “No Weak heart shall prosper.”
As
relevant in his work, Mr. Marley serves the society in multiple capacities; few
of them are: (1) to induce normalcy to all version of political dynamics; for
lack of which impedes our collective progress. (2) Fragmentation of folkloric antipathy,
and initiate the mood where tranquility can prevail instead, in other words
where humankind can ambitiously live in love, and to love while we are living.
Some
of the words that Mr. Marley had spoken become desirable slogan of preferences
for opposition to all methods of oppression, more so becoming the source of inspiration
for many of us.
And,
as long as we are inspired, we have hope, and by his inspiration, we are
empowered to continue to teach the broader scope of his vision continually for the
greater good of this generation and those that are to come afterward to
recognize the impact of his existence on this planet earth which he once walked
gallantly upon.
Brother
Bob! May you continue to rest peacefully on the everlasting arm, whereon you
are safe and secured from all earthly alarm, we love you but Heavens loves you
most.
Sleep
well, (my lord.)
