EVERYWHERE IS WAR

Until the philosophy
Which old one race superior and another inferior
Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned
Everywhere is war
Me say war

That until there 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 guarantee to all
Without regard to race
And this 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 pursued
But never attained
Now everywhere is war

(BOB MARLEY)
