LIVICATED TO LUCKY DUBE

HE’S GONE

He dreamed of success He then prayed everyday He ran to reach the goal But dashed his foot against the stone He worked diligently Yet met no dedication He planted good seeds Yet no rain to fertilize He devoted to serving his society Yet confronted negative response

He was a mobile college Enlightening his people That seemed impossible To find in those dark days Having a sophisticated mind He was the cornerstone to the nation Educated fools then buried his dreams Now alone in exile Paving his way Unable to be found on our way Some regrets Some nightmares Reaction of barbaric act

I'd love to see it published Thank you in advance

I was honored to have known Lucky Dube in the late 80's and early 90's, when he and his band unselfishly invited me to be their friends. We shared some very memorable times together. I was always amazed at Lucky's humility and kindness toward me, a white American, whom he treated as his brother and whom he extended his personal invitations to many of his shows throughout the Midwest and West, and I always took him up on it. Thanks for the music Lucky, thanks for the friendship and thanks for the memories. Russ Schenewerk, Branson, Missouri USA

I was astonished the other day when I was flying from Colombia to Orlando, Fla and listened for about 7 times Lucky Dubes' "The way it is" and was shocked when I arrived to my house and found out my wife told me he was killed last year!! Where was I? I got to know his music thanks to Worldlink TV, who played " The way it is' several times. Being from the Caribbean (Puerto Rico), I am not strange to caribbean music, which included Bob marley , Lucky and Peter Tosh, amongst others. I was shock the way he was kill a man who preached on his lyrics peace and human unity.He will be remembered on my collection for his social message not only to his trouble nation of South Africa, but to the entire struggle of poor people around the world. RIP Lucky, we miss south Africa's and the world's biggest Reagge star.
