Where's the l.o.v.e.?

It’s been quite a tumultuous month so far but this morning, I feel a bit refreshed. I feel good about how things are... I awake this morning in great spirits. It’s amazing to me how the things that are the most practical produce the most astonishing results. If we only knew how to believe less in outside sources and a lot more in inner strength, peace, and love.

After not having the guts to explain certain things to a particular young lady, I found myself in deep meditation. I reflected on many things that have gone wrong the past 6 months and the many things that will probably go wrong for the next 6. Who am I? Am I defined by the job title given to me by another man's company? Am I those racial expletives that many ignorant people continue to cling to in reference to the color of my skin? Am I truly a no, good, lying, cheating dog as some women choose to exclaim, and generalize due to their past experiences with a man who resembled me? Am I that man? Am I a reflection of the dope man on the corner, the pimp, the thug, and the convict? Am I the American Dream? How must the American Dream be redefined to suit the needs of each individual?

This game of life seems to be a copycat league. It’s funny how my community unites when it comes to the most irrelevant things, for example: fashion, music, partying and bulls*it, etc... But why can’t we unite when it matters most? When it comes to family, community service and safety, relationships/marriage, economics, etc... We tend to drift away.... if only I could come up with some answers. But I am in a good mood though, hoping it last the whole week.

Where's the love? Why do we watch the hate?

ML² I miss you shawty. Holla @ your boi.

  1. Where's the love?
    The love is right here, always inside of you. Always was, always will be. The only thing another can do is activate that love that you already possess and if you're lucky you can do the same for that person and you can both share the love.

    Who are you? I have a feeling you already know :-)

    Keep up your good mood. Always find something to laugh about :-)

    I'm gonna let Kerry James comment on this one for you. Here goes!

    Ok Hey ,On pleure quand il est trop tard
    Et on gache l'instant présent
    On nargue le bohneur quand il se présente
    Comme si on avait peur d'etre heureux
    On se sent seul dans notre crainte d'etre deux
    Thug Love on baillonne nos sentiments
    Avec les liens de la raison
    On les menne tete baisser vers la pendaison
    Thugs On explose de l'intérieur
    Car jamais nos je t'aime ne doivent se lire de l'exterieur
    Thugs On est bon q'a faire semblan
    L'amour c'est trop brutal c'est san protection et san gants
    On est lache nous
    Toi tu crois q'on cache tout
    Et se qon aime disparaisse sur nos peaux
    Aucune trace de leurs carresse
    Les souvenirs c'est tou se qui nous reste
    Ils partent nous ont reste avec nos larmes de regret avec
    Tous ce qon a pas su dire
    Tous ce qon a pas su lire et
    Tous ce qon leur a fait subir
    Ils meurent et on vit avec nos secrets
    D'amour et nos larmes de regrets
