The importance of reggae in times of war!

We are living through one of the most critical chapters in the history of humanity. Violence, destruction, misery, among so many other "consequences" of years and years of greed, intrigue, falsehood, and stupidity. In other words, "everything happens for a reason", that is, it is the so-called "law of action and reaction". Therefore everything we are seeing today is lamentable, yet inevitable. And Reggae has a role within all of this. In reality, it always has, for war has been going on for a long time. This role is based on the universal principle of divine truth. In Reggae, the hypocrisy of the system is not accepted. One must be attentive to what happens around us, because Babylon is merciless and its goal is solely and exclusively to make us manipulated and enslaved.

What to do in the face of this chaos? (many must have already wondered about this). No one can demand a specific stance from us. The truth is simple and clear. It is up to us to follow it. If we fall into iniquity, we will soon know, for the price to be paid will cost us dearly. But in the end, Reggae is there precisely to broaden our horizons and open our minds regarding the current reality of the world. Jah will provide light at the end of the tunnel for those who seek it through His teachings.

Many see reggae only as a form of fun and entertainment, but it is not restricted to that alone.
The "awareness" factor must be taken into account, always present in reggae lyrics. One must pay attention to the messages, understand what they say. Bob Marley is an example to follow. His messages of love, peace and unity spread to the four corners of the world and earned him the title of "myth". And that is the figure of Bob Marley that the whole world has in mind. With the recent conflicts between the United States and Afghanistan, there is no way not to recognize Marley's genius in his poetry, which seems more like a prediction of all of this. Stop to listen to one of his most celebrated songs: War. "Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned, there will be war..." "Until there are no longer first-class and second-class citizens of any nation, and until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes, there will be war."

That is precisely what is happening in the world at the dawn of the 21st century. People who privilege money at the expense of peace and social well-being. It is not an exaggeration to believe that reggae can contribute greatly to a change in this scenario. If all reggae fans are truly united and following the philosophy of reggae, which preaches love and equality among peoples, we can think YES of a better future for the world.
