Where is the Love???

As I sit and watch the news

I wonder where is the love and so I start searching for clues

searching for days and hearing nothing but me, myself, and I

the first question coming to mind is why?

the world has become such an evil place

and the happenings of each day can be clearly defined as a disgrace

one of the reasons this is happening is because most people have lost hope

and many living tough lives have started to rely on dope

its a really sad sight to see

because I always wonder what all these lost people could have lived to be

nowadays its no big deal for people to fake it

to look into the eyes of a young child seeing their good heart and still break it

is it too much to give someone a helping hand

too much to hear someone out and let them know that you understand

what is this distance we have between each other

how can a man take money over his own blood, his brother

people will do anything just to make a dollar

to give up working a blue collar

how is it that what people desire most is a piece of paper

yet it is inevitable that it’s value will soon taper

many a person being charged for extortion

cold blooded murder being disguised by a term we know as abortion

can you live knowing you killed your own child

letting them face the consequences of you living wild

yes you might say it was one big mistake

but realize the outcome is never ending heartbreak

its a cold world slowly turning into ice 

but lastly ask yourself if the love you show does suffice
