Where is the love?
| October 29th, 2006Well .. yeah .. all I see is hatred, jealousy, blood, competition, fights. Where are the good times. I see people smiling. But I know they actually wanna cry. Some wanna curse you so badly. Some even wanna hurt you. Hurt you for stepping on their toes. Curse you for you have been doing your job with a forthright approach. Kill you for doing the things the right way.
Where has the sense of socialism disappeared. Plastic is all that is left on the name of gestures. And what good am I doin. I smile back. Another of those plastic smiles. I return the favor.
No it aint me I am talking about. Its our nation .. INDIA .. I was goin though my earlier blogs .. one that I had abandoned long time ago, and I came across an entry where I had punched in the words of this song .. “Where is the Love” .. and then I could never stop relating this song to our nation. I aint a nationalist of that sort, I do have desires to change things for good. We all have. But then I am lazy and I am weak and I have all the good excuses for not doing a thing in this direction. And, things have been pretty easy for me that I do not respect such things so deeply that I understand a need to change things around. Baah waah .. why am I bawling all this, we all are the same. We see it all and do not do a thing.
Its so easy to walk an illegitimate path. Dishonesty is the flavor. Rules are in place .. regulations .. but who cares.. we still need a constable to remind us that we need to respect the traffic signals, that mobile phones are not to be used while driving. Not just this, I see much much more everyday. What we all do. We curse the Government, we blame the laws for not being strong enuf. Tell me .. how many times have you broken a law. The path of truth .. of Ahimsaa .. that was taught to us by hundreds of the stories back in school .. down the drain.
Is this a helpless situation? Not at all. Because I .. like all others .. is just living my life, the way I want. Why .. you expected me to be any good .. than all others .. you all.
Listening to this song again and again:
What’s wrong with the world mama?
People living like aint got no mamas
I think the whole worlds addicted to the drama
Only attracted to the things that bring you trauma
Overseas yeah we tryin to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin
In India the big R$$ the Bloodz and the Crips and the %^&% Dal$
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And if you hatin you’re bound to get irate
Yeah madness is what you demonstrate
And that’s exactly how anger works and operates
You gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love y’all
People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love? Where is the love? Where is the love?
It just ain’t the same all ways have changed
New days are strange is the world the insane?
If love and peace so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don’t belong
Nations dropping bombs
Chemical gases filling lungs of little ones
With ongoing suffering
As the youth die young
So ask yourself is the loving really strong?
So I can ask myself really what is going wrong
With this world that we living in
People keep on giving in
Makin wrong decisions
Only visions of them livin and
Not respecting each other
Deny thy brother
The wars’ going on but the reasons’ undercover
The truth is kept secret
Swept under the rug
If you never know truth
Then you never know love
Where’s the love y’all?(I don’t know)
Where’s the truth y’all?(I don’t know)
Where’s the love y’all?
People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love? Where is the love? Where is the love?
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I’m getting older y’all people get colder
Most of us only care about money makin
Selfishness got us followin the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting their young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what the see in the cinema
Whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality
Instead of spreading love, we’re spreading anomosity
Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity
That’s the reason why sometimes I’m feeling under
That’s the reason why sometimes I’m feeling down
It’s no wonder why sometimes I’m feeling under
I gotta keep my faith alive, until love is found
People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love? Where is the love? Where is the love?
