i love mother earth!

I was watching last Saturday about how the Abu Sayaff, a local terrorist movement here in the Philippines, was able to kill 22 young soldiers during a clash in Basilan. It really broke my heart seeing the the soldiers' families break down in tears upon seeing the caskets of their loved ones.

Lord, why do we have these senseless killings? =( I have to agree on what an online friend wrote, "Build the Hate" against Abu Sayaff, enough with terrorism!

Another thing that has been on my mind ever since I watched the documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth: Global Warming" by Al Gore, on how our planet, Earth, is getting all the abuse because of Global Warming. I do, in my own little ways, stop contributing to Global Warming. I am afraid on what the future will bring. Is there even going to be a future Earth for our children's children?

You may find me weird because of my posts above, but I DO care about all of these things. I may be an old soul coz it pains me knowing all of these are happening. I am doing what I can to help out. I also spread awareness to people on these social issues. These may be small steps but if you gather all of these steps, it will make a difference!

To end this post, I am including MJ's song here. This is really spot on!



THE EARTH SONG




What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain.. .
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores?

Aaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaah

What have we done to the world
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son...
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores

Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaah

I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are
Although I know we've drifted far

Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaaah

Hey, what about yesterday
(What about us)
What about the seas
(What about us)
The heavens are falling down
(What about us)
I can't even breathe
(What about us)
What about the bleeding Earth
(What about us)
Can't we feel its wounds
(What about us)
What about nature's worth
(ooo,ooo)
It's our planet's womb
(What about us)
What about animals
(What about it)
We've turned kingdoms to dust
(What about us)
What about elephants
(What about us)
Have we lost their trust
(What about us)
What about crying whales
(What about us)
We're ravaging the seas
(What about us)
What about forest trails
(ooo, ooo)
Burnt despite our pleas
(What about us)
What about the holy land
(What about it)
Torn apart by creed
(What about us)
What about the common man
(What about us)
Can't we set him free
(What about us)
What about children dying
(What about us)
Can't you hear them cry
(What about us)
Where did we go wrong
(ooo, ooo)
Someone tell me why
(What about us)
What about babies
(What about it)
What about the days
(What about us)
What about all their joy
(What about us)
What about the man
(What about us)
What about the crying man
(What about us)
What about Abraham
(What was us)
What about death again
(ooo, ooo)
Do we give a damn
