Where is the Love

I'm always in support of songs that support humanity, that sings about the world. Where is the love by Black Eyes Peas and heal the world by Michael Jackson had always been my favourite. Here's a few special segments of the lyrics of where is the love that I like.
What's wrong with the world mama?
People living like ain’t got no mamas
I think the whole world’s addicted to the drama
Only attracted to the things that bring you trauma
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
People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Nations dropping bombs
Chemical gases filling lungs of little ones
With ongoing suffering
As the youth die young
People keep on giving in
Makin wrong decisions
Only visions of them living and
Not respecting each other
Deny thy brother
The war’s  going on but the reason’s  undercover
The truth is kept secret
Swept under the rug
If you never know truth
Then you never know love
Kids wanna act like what they 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 animosity
Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity
I gotta keep my faith alive, until love is found
=)

Lucky

Some people never grasp how lucky they are. They had clothes yet they want branded one. They want shoes with the latest technology and design while other children have flatten plastic bottles as slippers. They go overseas every holiday yet they complain they don't have enough money. They had food on their table yet they want to eat in the most exquisite restaurant. I'm not saying we can't enjoy our life and eat and wear the cheapest, but we have got to appreciate what we got, and stop complaining. Be grateful, be contented and never demand for more.
We have food in our tummy, clothes on our body, a roof over our head, school, friends, water, electricity, parents and a healthy body. What more could we possible need? What more could we possibly ask for?


Strong

You know, I used to think he is so strong, nothing can possibly beat him down. He can fix almost anything, he can withstand almost every weather. That's why it feels so uncanny when he looks so weak. I hate it when he has fever, it reminds me that he is still a normal human being, not a superhero like I think he is. He can fix a broken doorknob, can change the position of my celing fan, can fix the sliding glass door that has derailed, can fix leaking pipes, can construct a dressing table for my mum, a bedside table and study table for my sister, can cook marvelous meals, can do housework efficiently, can run over a long distance etcetera etcetera. I'm always amaze by him, always thought how lucky and how blessed I'm to have such a father. :')
