Them, I & Them...AFRICA UNITE....Bob Marley

Alifariki tarehe 11 mwezi wa tano mwaka 1981. Tarehe ya kufariki kwake ni kati ya sababu zinazofanya mwezi huu kusherehekewa kama mwezi wa amani na pia kuwa na matamasha mengi ya kumuenzi Mfalme huyu wa Reggae duniani.
Waweza kuwa na tafsiri yako ya Bob Marley na pengine hata hadhi utakayompa kulingana na mtazamo wako kwakwe, lakini ushahidi wa kazi yake waonesha kuwa alikuwa zaidi ya mwanafalsafa, zaidi ya mtabiri, zaidi ya muona mbali na aliyeona njia sahihi za kuikwamua dunia miongo kadhaa iliyopita, aliyehimiza kuhusu KUJITAMBUA kama njia ya kutuweka huru na askari wa jeshi la amani aliyetumia kazi yake kama silaha halisi.
Aliimba katika wimbo wake aliouita Real Situation kuhusu wanyang'anyi wa mali za watu wanaoamini kuwa "the total destruction is the only solution" na tunaona yatokeayo ulimwenguni sasa. Katika wimbo huo huo alisema "Give them an inch, they take a yard; Give them a yard, they take a mile" akiwaeleza wale ambao wakipata kisa cha kuingia nchini mwako hawatoki na kila siku watakuwa na sababu ya kuendelea kuwepo kuinyonya nchi. Ndio tuonayo leo.
Lakini pamoja na mengi aliyoonya, Bob aliliasa bara la Afrika na wana wa Afrika kuungana kama njia pekee ya kuweza kusonga mbele. Japo wapo waliopinga alilosema (kwa kuhukumu muonekano wake), alilosema lilifanyiwa kazi (kinadharia) takribani miaka 21 baada ya kifo chake. Waligundua ukweli wa alilosema na kujitahidi kujipachika uasili wa wazo japo yajulikana alisema nani, kwanini na ili kiwe nini.
Bob aliweka bayana katika wimbo wake wa AFRICA UNITE kuwa kuna umuhimu na ulazima wa kuungana kikweli kwani twahitaji ku"Unite for the benefit of your children, Unite for it’s later than you think". Kibaya ni kuwa WATAWALA wetu wajiitao viongozi na ambao wana upeo mdogo zaidi ya Bob hawasikilizi usia wa kutupeleka tutakako.Wanacheza POLI=TRIX
Kumzungumzia Bob na nyimbo zake hakuhitaji ukurasa wa pekee, bali blog ama tovuti kamili kwa ajili yake, ila kwa leo naomba tuhitimishe mwezi kwa kumsikiliza katika wimbo huu.

Africa unite:
'Cause we're moving right out of Babylon,
And we're going to our Father's land, yea-ea.

How good and how pleasant it would be before God and man, yea-eah! -

We are the children of the Rastaman;
We are the children of the Iyaman.
