Setiap hari masih saja kita membaca berita ketidakadilan baik yang terjadi di negeri tempat tinggal atau di dunia. Masih saja kita mendengar berita tentang peperangan, mayat bergelimpangan di jalan, bocah-bocah menangis kehilangan ayah dan ibunya.
Baru-baru ini pertikaian juga terjadi di India,dimana pertikaian terjadi antara mayoritas penduduk India yang beragama Hindu dengan minoritas beragama Islam. Padahal di sana dulunya pernah lahir tokoh perdamaian dunia Mahatma Gandhi.
Korban-korban terus berjatuhan dari kalangan minoritas. Mereka tidak bisa berbuat banyak. Menurut berita sudah ratusan orang yang terluka dan 38 orang tewas.Tapi yang anehnya pertikaian ini seakan menutup mata bagi dunia Internasional. Dimana tim perdamaian dunia? Dimana suara dari HAM (Hak Asasi Manusia).
Semoga pertikaian seperti ini tidak terjadi di negeriku. Dimana Islam menjadi mayoritas di sini, sedangkan agama lain seperti Kristen, Hindu, Budha, dll masih bisa hidup berdampingan dengan saling menghargai dan menghormati. Disetiap acara kebesaran dari agama masing-masing seperti agama Islam yang merayakan hari Idul Adha, Kristen yang merayakan hari Isa Al Masih, Budha yang merayakan hari kebesaran Waisak dan agama Hindu yang merayakan hari Nyepi tapi tidak ada yang menganggu. Saya tidak membanggakan negara saya yang bisa menjaga keharmonisan berbagai macam umat. Tapi inilah kenyataannya.
Lagu Where Is The Love karya Black Eye Peace merupakan suara hati saya pada hari ini. Saya berharap perang antar dua agama ini bisa dihentikan dan tidak ada lagi korban yang berjatuhan.

Lirik lagu
Where Is The Love? - Black Eyed Peas
what's wrong with the world, mama?
people livin like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world's addicted to the drama
only attracted to the things that'll bring the trama
overseas ya we tryin to stop terrorism
but we still got terrorists here livin
in the U.S.A, the big C.I.A
the bloods & the crips, and the KKK
but if you only got love for your own race
then you only leave space to discriminate
and to discriminate only generates hate
and when you hate, then you're bound to get irate
yea madness is what you demonstrate
and that's exactly how anger works and operates
man ya gotta have love, that'll set us straight
take control of your mind and meditate
let your soul gravitate, to the love ya'll
people killin
people dyin
children hurt and
you hear them cryin
will you practice what you preach
and would you turn the other cheek
father father father, help us
need some guidance from above
these people got me got me questionin
where is the love?
(love) where is the love?
(the love) where is the love?
(the love) where is the love?
(where is the love the love my love)
it just ain't the same
old ways have changed
new days are strange, is world insane?
if love and peace is so strong
why are there pieces of love that don't belong
nations droppin bombs
chemical gasses fillin lungs of little ones
with ongoin sufferin, as the youth die young
so ask yourself, is the lovin really strong
so I can ask myself, really what is going wrong
in this world that we livin in, people (people) givin in
makin wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
not respectin each other, deny thy brother
a war is goin on but the reason's under cover
the truth is kept secret, and swept under the rug
if you never know truth, then you never know love
where's the love ya'll? (i don't know)
where's the truth ya'll? (i don't know)
and where's the love ya'll?
people killin
people dyin
children hurt and
you hear them cryin
will you practice what you preach
and would you turn the other cheek
father father father, help us
need some guidance from above
these people got me got me questionin
where is the love?
(love) where is the love?
(the love) where is the love?
(the love) where is the love?
where is the love?
(love) where is the love?
(the love) where is the love?
(the love) where is the love?
(where is the love the love my love)
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
as I'm getting older, ya'll people gets colder
most of us only care about money makin
selfishness got us followin the wrong direction
wrong information always shown by the media
negative images is the main criteria
infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema
Yo
whatever happened to the values of humanity?
whatever happened to the fairness and equality?
instead of spreading love we spreadin animosity
lack of understandin leading us away from unity
that's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin under
that's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin down
It's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin under
gotta keep my faith alive till love is found
Now
Salam damai.
