Realism. Bob Marley

Bob Marley is the best modern example of realism I think there is. His lyrics were straight forward and spoke of many problems from political to racial. Bob marley wanted the people of Jamaica and Black people around the world to hear his music and realize the problems around them. A song that a found particularly "real" from Bob Marley is the Song "War." This Song is actually a speech from the Ethiopian Ruler Hailie Salassie mixed with a little bit of Bob Marley's lyrics, but it captures Bob Marley's Realistic thinking.

"Until the philosophy which hold 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 colour of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes
-Me say war.
That until the basic human rights
Are equally guaranteed to all,Without regard to race
-Dis 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
- war."
