World Poverty

Have you ever heard a song in title "Where Is The Love" by The Black Eyed Peas? If you already heard it,do you understand the meaning of this song that they are trying to say or you just singing it because of the great melodies? Do you? Why don't we take a moment to read and understand it together.

Where is the love (the love)

Where is the love (the love)

Where is the love 

The love, the love 

It just ain't the same, always unchanged

New days are strange, is the world insane

If love and peace is so strong

Why are there pieces of love that don't belong

Nations droppin' bombs

Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones

With ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young

So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone

So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin'

in Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends

Not respecting each other, deny the brother

A war is going on but the reason's undercover

The truth is kept secret (shh, shh), it's swept under the rug

If you never know truth then you never know love

Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)

Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)

Where's the love, y'all

People killin', people dyin'

Children hurt and you hear them cryin'

Can you practice what you preach

And would you turn the other cheek

I clearly understand what is on your mind, you might think that this song has nothing to do at all with our post's title (world poverty) but actually poverty comprises in many dimensions, not only for being poor. One of the dimension that we are trying to point out is love. Why love? Well, love is the root of everything that happens in this world. War, the hungers,killing, fighting, abuse, refugees and many other negative things happened because of one thing that the human race is lacking of ; love.

 According to the news, there are huge population of poor people in this world and the number increases day by day but they forgot to report the vice versa ; there are also a huge population of rich people and the numbers are also increasing day by day! Why can't the rich shares their wealth with the poor even a little bit?. Well my friend, nowadays, sense of materialism that the world is getting stronger and stronger about every day. We, as people, care more about money and things more than beliefs, culture, and politics. The importance of others is nothing to us.

Napoleon once said "The world suffers a lot. Not because of the violence of bad people. But because of the silence of good people". This is actually the sad truth about what is happening everyday on this mother earth. Wake up people, wake up! Do you think that all the negative things happens in other countries would not effect yours? You are totally wrong! Egypt for example, it was a peaceful country last year but then a war happen in a blink of an eye. That's why when there are people in need we need to help, even send them a prayer is consider as one of the help.

So, start from now, let us spread the love for a better future for the next generation!
