one love - by Bil Johnson

chest high in the warm sea
sun melting into the horizon
cooling the velvet sand
our shadows stretching long before us

local fishermen drift past
with their take
snappers and conch shells
for the local market

a soft carribean breeze
whispers past us
harmonious pleas of tuff gong
carry on the wind--crying out for justice

we emerge with the stars
beacons of light on an ink black canvas sky
rastas calling out for one people one blood
one love
