| what is the world coming to?

I find myself increasingly wishing that we lived in the world of my childhood.
Everything seemed easier then.
Everything seemed far more peaceful then.
Our nation presently morns the death of yet another young lad stabbed on the streets of London. This story seems to be getting more attention than previous stories due to him having a famous sister. It needs highlighting. What is the world coming to when you have to worry about letting a young chil out on to the streets to hang out with his mates.
In another news story it's the turn of the Welsh politicians. For once no-one is criticising them. It is in fact a different story. A number of them have confessed to having been raped and in the style that seems too common these days have failed to report it. Why? Who knows? Perhaps they felt guilty. Perhaps they felt scared that if they did report it somehow it would end up palstered across the front pages of this nations press.
I admit I don't know the full stories like so many others I lap up what I know from the news and the tabloids. Maybe I don't really care that much at the end of the day. All I know is it scares me, worries me and makes me think about society and where we are going. As someone of the age where I should be thinking of bringing a child in the world I increasingly ask myself why I would want to. Do I want to bring a child into the world with so much violence, so much hate...
Questions hey...they float around in my mind and the main one I keep asking myself is...what's going on? where is the love? |
