More than being human, we need peace and love.

More than being strong and capable, we need compassion.

More than being clever, we need kindness and gentleness.

But where are all these sense of humanity?

Where is the love that we have for human life and nature?

Where is the peace that we once had?

What about our dreams, dream of a better world?

Little children are crying, am beginning to feel guilty.

Where is that sense of brotherhood?

Where is the compassion?

What about our faith, have we lost trust in God?
