This is a beautiful written poem about the king of Reggae Bob Marley,this poem remind us of his legacy that he has left behind with us.Please enjoy.

The king of reggae

I wasn’t of existence at the time the king died

But hearing his motivating songs

At times I still cry

His inspiring words have touched so many hearts

It’s so sad he had to depart

‘One love’ is a universal song

People of all different languages around the world love to sing along

He didn’t literally shoot the sheriff

But someone sure shot him

Not uncommon for this world to try to assassinate a king

Get up, stand up

Stand up for your rights

In April, 1978 he made two political leaders unite

Mr Marley

A buffalo soldier

A dreadlock Rasta

The man from Trench Town

He’s the king

The one who wears the reggae crown

He put Jamaica on the map

It’s a small island

But when it comes to reggae music

We’re on top

Don’t worry

Every little thing is gonna be alright

The king is gone

But his music lives on.
