Frozen In Time

A Tribute to Bob Marley  

On May 11, 1981 Mother Earth lost one of her noble inhabitants (37 years ago). He was light in weight, yet, mighty in spirit. In a 1976 work titled “Rat Race”, Mr. Marley warns on the need to address the so called “free enterprise”; a systemic fiscal structure that rotates only in beneficial to those on the monetarist echelon. While majority are encouraged to partake, but (weakened fiscally to) simply gyrate in it without victory. He warns further that lack of adequate inclusions may lead to socio economic calamity. 

And in a subsequent work titled “Roots Natty Roots”, Mr. Marley translates the need for each to be appreciative of one’s ethnic-identity and encourage individual to vacate mindsets of historical disparagements that cast certain ethnic in a state of nothingness, as opposed to focus on those naturally induced attributes that make us unique.

And then in 1979, (in a work titled “Ride Natty Ride”) Mr. Marley systematically applauded dexterity of ethno-African enterprises worldwide, to reflect on how much they’ve accomplished (even) under those embittered economic circumstances.

And while promoting peace for humanity, he was taken away from us too soon, but you are unconquered still by the legacy of your work. The generations hereon understand the impact of your work, and the sacrifice you made so that we can see the light. And the Light, yes (Brother Bob!) indeed, we saw.  

As some of us are now “frozen in Time” with your work, as the contexts are the needed armory in combating various systemic challenges we faced. And if the Sun rises and shine for all, (according to your command), we shall ‘never give up the fight’.

Sleep well, my Lord.

The Time? 2:6-45.

Who was a divine diplomat born 73 years ago, today?

Who was him that inspires humanity “to live in peace”?

Who was him that cautioned humanity, by reminding us that: “divide and rule could only tear us apart”?

Who was him that championed freedom for the oppressed?

Who was him that emphasized self-sufficiency, by reminding us that: “No weak arm shall prosper”?

Who was him that demanded repentance from “a hopeless sinner”? (wherefore now, they are hurting all mankind just to save their own belief.?

Conqueror Bob! By sharing your revelation (with mankind), now we found our own redemptions, and we are forever in-debt to your kindness. Your contribution to mother Earth shall never perish.

A Magnifying Goggle:

In choosing the right road for assortment for leadership; to the extent of comparable to an “open book test” yet, some people flunked the "test" for lack of foresightedness.

    In comparison, the least among the centipedes (that crawls) were intelligent enough to make a better choice in selection of their queen regnant. But now, you became aware of (a high decibel) denigration towards the Earth's first inhabitants isn’t it? But, if one was to lead, he or she must first acquire the required knowledge for leading.

Now, may I invite a ten year old (from my maternal homeland), to lecture a “genius” on what leadership was all about? Furthermore, there's recent collective spiteful of one forerunner to another. But I am certain that, as mighty as they may seem (by their sheer assemblage of ammunition and spare parts), yet none of them can (develop gadgets that may) neither stop the Time, nor could any of them could be able to add a single minute to their existences on Earth.

So, mark my word; that if human race perishes through own demise; then, the spirit of Time will rise and chartered (yet,) another race that better serve the Spirit of Time in her continuous journey towards eternity.

I am a living man, I’ve got a lot of work to do, (and  so do you.) I'll stop-by again as Time permits.

It Is Magical

The Magic of Time

All human sciences are theory, the practical of (what encompasses) life and living are revealed gradually by the acts of Time, as you bear witness Time and Time again by every breath you take. Now, take a stand on the ground, and look up to the sky; and then, demand from yourself the meaning of what you see?

      And then, the next time you get on the airplane, take a peep through the window, look down upon the Earth, the massive landscape and vast oceanic view; and ask yourself, which part of dynamics (you see below) you really think could be defined by our common knowledge? Then the narrative (being lecture here,) was that the entire Planet Earth and the ecological systems was never intended for you nor I to understand.

     Humankind, (as well as other living systems) are simply multiple gadgetry, devised as a clustered propellant purposely to support the realm of Time (as she moves majestically towards eternity.) And all living systems, are destine to her obedient until services (being rendered by each entity) are no longer desired. The real meaning of life is beyond human comprehension, it is simply beyond magical.
