Where is the Love?

People killin', people dyin'

Children hurt and you hear them cryin'

Can you practice what you preach?

And would you turn the other cheek?

Father, Father, Father help us

Send some guidance from above

'Cause people got me, got me questionin'

Where is the love?

     Hate abounds everywhere. War rages across the globe, pitting man against man in a whirlwind of death and destruction. Racism beats down people just because they're "different". Children are abused by adults and bullied by their peers. Half of marriages in the US and Canada now end in divorce.

     In short, the world needs more of this thing we call love. Every single person I know would agree with that. But where can we find it? Visit my blog tomorrow to find out!
