Crucial Wailing, (A tribute to Robert Nesta Marley)

       Since the beginning of Time, human have always been privileged to have among them, a fellowman that rises to champion a cause that improves lives of other humans. In this line, came a spiritual deity who goes by earthly name of “Robert Nesta Marley”. And on this day 35 years ago, at the completion of his celestial assignments, he transitioned to join our ancestors.

        He was a humbled Prophet, a visionary, a mystical crier, a defender of faith, and a symbol of hope whose life-verses encourages humanity to unfetter from irrelevant, and to major more in positive ideas and unity. And by example, his passion was not for earthly material, but his diplomatic mission to unite humanity was his main focus. And within his reach in his homeland, the hungry were feed, and some earned their livelihood through his direct effort, doing so, while healing the entire civilized world with verses of wisdom.

          It was 35 years ago today that you left us, yet our hearts still feels pain. The comforts to our souls however, are the timeless verses of redemption, created for our spiritual uses for which we are grateful to you always.

         Mr. Marley, if I may step into your comfort zone, (in your honor,) to recite the Rastafarian spiritual chant: “Jah Ras Tafari, Ever living! Ever faithful, SELASSIE-I LIVE, SELASSIE-I LIVE, SELASSIE-I LIVE!”

         And, as for the “natural mystic” currently blowing through the air in your beloved Africa, (and somewhere else in the World), I believe in your doctrine, we will worry not about a thing, for TIME will bring us a better day; when then, the children will “weep no more”.    

        Sleep well, my Lord.
