It's Been A While

Hey Guys,

Let me tell you, I have just been busy busy busy. I hardly have time to do anyhting, Between work, the Rescue Squad, Yearbook, Family, and everything else. We'll I went to D.C. and got back last week. It was just auwsome, I probally had the best time in my life ever. I met lots of people, and some life long friends. Josh, Wendy, Leann, Emily, and Tisha. You guys are greeeaaattt!!! I'm getting bumped up to cashier at Food City, I'm getting contacts Thursday, and I'm working out now, It's going to be a whole new me my senior year, which is a month and 12 days away, YEEEHHHH!! Ok enough of my life now. I have a message to spread on so please read.

It seems that in this generation we have forgotten how to live life loving, caring, and respecting one another, it's not so much this generation but others before us. This world is far from those three words. I'm 17 years old, almost 18 and it scares me knowing that this world is only getting worse not better. The government, gangs, and hatred groups all dig a deeper grave for us all. Our Father put us on this earth so that we can care for eachother, love eachother, and respect eachother. He put us here to teach future generations how to do the same. If we did what he said, we would have no worries, tragedies, or hatred among one another. I encourage you to read the following lyrics below. If you don't have time to read it, and understand how our world really is, then what do you have time for. That's why we live the way we live. Thank You.

Black Eyed Peas Feat. Justin Timberlake "Where Is The Love"

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
Badness is what you demonstrate
And that’s exactly how a n**** works and operates
N**, 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 us some guidance from above
‘Cause people got me, got me questionin’
Where is the love (Love)

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 the 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 us some guidance from above
‘Cause people got me, got me questionin’
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (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 own direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids 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 til 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 us some guidance from above
‘Cause people got me, got me questionin’
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)

Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)

PLEASE PASS THIS ON!!
