Love is My Religion
Yes as kids we are raise to follow and continue with the religion we are brought up upon. But who is to say that my religion is better than yours. And who determine what or which religion is justified in doing what they do and say. Religion have always confuse me because as a kid I wondered if I was following the right religion or is they Hindu family up the street in the right religion, no, maybe being a Buddha is the true chosen religion, again who determines this. There are so many religions with their own interpretation and belief system on how one should live his or her life until death. The song that I chose title is “Love is My Religion”, it was written by Ziggy Marley (who is the son of the late Bob Marley) and was released on July 2, 2006 by Tuff Gong World Wide record label. Its genre is reggae-pop, and it describes Ziggy’s feelings toward religion and his quest for the right religion. I think everyone can relate to it. Religions are such personal things that don 't need to be preached about to everyone. If you are religious, keep your beliefs and faith in your God but respect other people 's beliefs at the same time. That would be much better in the long run than if you were to try to convert everyone who believed in something different to you. The poetic style that best fit “Love is My Religion” has to be the Dramatic monologue. “Well, I 'm done searching now I found out what this life is worth. Not in the books did I find, but by searching my mind." These lyrics are incredibly powerful. My interpretation of this verse is that Ziggy has realized that there is so much more out there than just what the Bible says, and that we need to live our lives with open minds and hearts. I 'm not saying religious people are closed minded, I 'm saying that there 's no harm in taking a step back and asking yourself if you 're living your life to the fullest. Sometimes you can get so caught up in what
