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?"
What’s wrong with my community?
Factors:
- Ethnicity!
- Religion views!
- Lack of knowledge!
- Insincerity!
- Media!
- Fear!
People FEAR telling the truth as if the TRUTH is a CRIME! No one can truly TRUST one another, but they want to call each other brothers and sisters?!? None are listening to one another! The VOICE of the YOUTH is being ignored! Why? Because of our ethnicity backgrounds and lack of religion views! But truly because the YOUTH of my COMMUNITY are LAZY, not DEDICATED, and they JUST go with the FLOW! We the YOUTH in my COMMNUNITY complain better rather than taking action!
Thoughts:
My COMMUNITY needs a CHANGE but do we WANT a change? How can I get to the youth of my COMMUNITY? How can I get them DEDICATED? How can I get them to believe that we CAN make a CHANGE, that the future is truly in our HANDS! How can I get them to believe that we don’t have to be like the angry adults...We can come together and form peace between all of us? I believe we the YOUTH have the KEY, that if we come together and let our feelings out correctly that we can get to the adults in the community, that we can have them thinking like “We need to WAKE UP! These are our CHILDREN crying for us to UNITY!
I’ve been listening to Black eyed peas “where is the love” for days, it’s getting to me, and the song got me thinking truly about this world…but starting with my community. Where is the love? We say we all come from the same MOTHERLAND… but would we even help one another if one was in trouble?
“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”
