What have we become?

There was one afternoon when I took bus after my work and in the bus, there was this primary school girl sitting in front of me. She was this tiny, timid-looking, sweet-looking typical primary school girl that anybody would think she is a real angel.

However, suddenly, her file caught my attention as it looked pretty eye-catching. So I stared at it harder to see what were the words on her file and gosh, I was dumb founded!



I was shocked at how a tiny, sweet looking primary school girl can bear to write such deadly words in her file and just look at how many times she repeats those words..not once, not twice, but she fill the whole paper with those words that says, " You shall die".. I guess she is just warning anyone who steals her file..But still? I was really shocked.

This reminds me of a song which I love...by DC Talk. Its called, "What have we become". Here's the lyrics. It talks about how the world is degenerating and the values we have now in this world. It's really sad because this generation have not yet realised that whatever values they learn now, will in turn affect their future generation- their children and grandchildren. They are only concerned about what they want or like to do presently, and not think about the future or even, to eternity..

The very things that make us human- love, compassion, mercy, selflessness are all diminishing..

"What have we become"

A preacher shuns his brother
Cause his brides a different color
And this is not acceptable
His papa taught him so
It was love that hed been preaching
But this was overreaching
The boundaries stretchin further
Than his heart would choose to go

Like an angel with no wings
Like a kingdom with no king

(chorus 1)
What have we become?
A self indulgent people
What have we become?
Tell me where are the righteous ones?
What have we become?
In a world degenerating
What have we become?

(chorus 2)
Speak your mind, look out for yourself
The answer to it all is a life of wealth
Grab all you can cause you live just once
You got the right to do whatever you want
Dont worry about others or where you came from
It aint what you were, its what you have become

Mom and dad are fightin
As rosie lies there crying
For once again shes overheard
Regrets of their mistake
With christmas bells a-ringing
Little rosied leave them grieving the gift shed give her family
Would be the pills shed take

An inconvenient child
She wasnt worth their while

(repeat choruses 1 and 2)

What about love?
What about god?
What about holiness?
What about mercy, compassion and selflessness?

You know its true
He is there for me and you
Doesnt matter what you do

(repeat chorus 1)

What have we become?
Have we come undone?
What have we become?
Have we come undone?
What have we become?

(repeat chorus 2)

Selfish... ? ? ?
With selfish... ? ? ?
Selfish people
When you gonna learn?
Everyone of us
Gathered round in trust
What have we become?
