And to the spirit of the most high, His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I, run lightning, leading the people of the slaves to shake hands. . . To show the people that you love them right, to show the people that you gonna unite, show the people that you're over bright, show the people that everything is all right. Watch, watch, watch, what you're doing, because . . . I'm not so good at talking but I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. I'm trying to say, could we have, could we have, up here onstage here the presence of Mr. Michael Manley and Mr. Edward Seaga. I just want to shake hands and show the people that we're gonna unite . . . we're gonna unite . . . we've got to unite . . . The moon is high over my head, and I give my love instead. The moon is high over my head, and I give my love instead.' As ghetto gunmen hovered on the edge of the stage, Bob brought the hands of Michael Manley and Edward Seaga together. And held them firmly together. 'Yes, the Peace,' he said later. 'Is really the Youth of Jamaica started it really. Asked me to help and get it together, y'know, knowing that I was one of the victims during the time of the politics. This peace work, it don't stop. . . it never stop . . . We know it never stop. That mean, we the youth got a work to do.' This was an awe-inspiring achievement, as these two political parties (PNP and JLP) had broken out into a "Civil War" in the ghettos of Jamaica. To have the leaders of both of these strongholds of Jamaican politics hold hands and unite is just further testimony to the power of the prophet The Honerable Robert Nesta Marley, O.M.
