This is week 119 and the theme is "Prejudice". For those who want to jump in on this too, here is your chance: [🎵 Hive Open Mic 119 - Worldwide Live Music Event]
This is a worldwide problem and I am excited about this theme as well. We often overlook so many things because it didn't come close to us or it's not happening to those we know. You know everything is perfect until something happens to someone we know and that's when we start to understand what others went through. We don't have to be at the receiving end of it before we allow our humanity to kick in and speak against prejudice. It's growing like wildfire and it has to be tamed.
That's why I am happy to fuse two songs together: "Where Is The Love?" By "Black Eyed Peas" and "Stan" by "Eminem".
People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach?
Or 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 (Love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love, the love, the love...

"Where is the love" spoke about the love we should have for one another without having bias. Most people have carried out dastard acts due to their bias towards certain groups or people. It's scary sometimes the things we allow in the world we live in.
"Stan" spoke about the need for acceptance without sometimes understanding the full context of things. We all want to be accepted. We all want to feel among. We all want others to feel the same way as we feel so we can blend in just to massage our ego and sense of worth sometimes.
Life won't always go the way we want but with everyone doing their part in understanding and throwing kindness, love and patience around like confetti, we can see things better without making rash decisions, we can accept others and desist from the path that puts others down or lead others on the path of self destruction.
Thank you for your time.

Still me,
My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.
