Spreading the word of love and peace,
Was Bob Marley, never did he cease.
Taught the people of pain caused by war,
And expressed how he wanted it no more.

All his music and all his speeches,
Never implying he was too big for one's breeches,
Wanting peace and striving for love,

War is not welcome to stay.

He was so caring,
But also so daring.
Bob Marley is a hero; a savior.
He helped spread awareness of all unwanted behavior.

When I speak, you simply hear words. If you look deeper you can see that my smile is fake, then a frown will appear. My laugh, if you listen carefully, you'll hear a cry waiting to come out. And if you look deep enough into my eyes, you'll see sadness, tears shedding rapidly down my cheeks. If you listen beyond my words, you'll hear the helpless criesof fear creeping through my words. You see me as...
