The song "Where is the love?" by the Black Eyed Peas.
What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA, the big CIA
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah
Madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
Man, 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, 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
Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love?
Where is the love
Where is 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 respectin' each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
The truth is kept secret, 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
Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love ?
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
The love, the love
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' our wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema
Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
Instead in spreading love we spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found
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 ?

Tell me what was the worst thing about today's wimbledon qualifier which Sania Mirza lost? Her frequent unforced errors? Her forehand not working?What was it? Hmm.....noticed the Indian spectators' "cheers"? "Saniaaaa!......Sania!" Noticed their over exciting expressions at the slightest hint of her winning a point?Why?Why can't we Indians resist going from being supporters to fans to fanatics? OK, she might be the only Indian girl making it big in International Tennis. Do we ever wonder why? Why aren't there more ppl from India in international sporting events?(Except in the religion called cricket,of course).

Days pass by. The Sun rises and sets. The tides come and go. There's earthquakes, floods and famines and people die like bugs. Farmers commit suicides. So do students. Brutal murders, rapes and molestations are no longer shocking.
Saying that the world is going to the dogs, is an insult to dogs.
There you have Osama telling you to sin as a duty to God and here you have politicians telling you to be proud to be a Hindu; Just because you are a Hindu. Reminds me of the monkeys in 'The Jungle Book' who say "We are the most intelligent animals in the Jungle. We all say so. So it must be true!"
But who cares? Who cares as long as there's the IPL, rock music, and 'friends' to jolly around with? Thats what we do, isn't it?- sleep,study,play and chat, chat n chat more about the most obsolete things? What else do we Indians know than to be blind followers,crazy fans, and senseless self-glorifying hypocrites?
So what are yor waiting for?-The 'Hand fo God' to slap you?Or would you rather do that yourself? Whatever you do, do it fast coz the clock's ticking. And remember-"If you're a by-stander, you are not innocent."
