NEW - Where is The Love Mamma - The Video

Synopsis: A powerful video, lyrics and music that sheds light on the devastating impact of poverty, illustrating how it fuels crime, gang violence, and psychological trauma in communities around the world. Innocent people, caught in the crossfire, are left to endure a cycle of despair that feels inescapable. This video, offers a raw, unflinching look at the harsh realities faced in impoverished areas. "Where is the love Mamma?" echoes the universal desire for compassion and hope in adversity. Is there a remedy? Let the world know in your comment below. Thank you. Where is The Love, Mamma? – The Video Through broken Louvre blinds, you're ever watching Rosary beads clicking, prayers on repeat mode, uttering Your plethora of Faith keeps me steadily striving Though, frustrated when peace will be arriving. Under cover of the midnight moon, hookers seducing Shady men with illicit wares aggressively peddling Of changing our situation, I'm forever idealizing. Enduring every day's trauma, just surviving. Seeking direction from above, when is enough enough? Tell me, Mamma ~ where is the love? Collective immorality still existing. A ticking clock morality meekly resisting Corruption, greed, and deceit still abounding This life where goodness seems to be drowning. A depraved degradation of insanity still insisting, Death, broken hearts, crime persisting In the chaos, qualms never ceasing. Lawlessness above the muck and mire rising At the kerbside, a holy man piously preaching Should I turn my cheek, still beseeching Amidst their plundering and their leeching? NO!! Enough is enough ~ Where is the Love? Beyond-repair abhorrence, I'm escaping. Fervently, I'm hoping and praying. Please God, Mamma, be safe while I'm gone I'll be back for you before long In the eerie darkness, emotions imploding Sirens blaring, with the sound of guns exploding My shallow breath quickening, turning back with throat thickening All the while, I'm screaming Where is the love? Back through this hellhole, I'm rapidly racing All through the panic, still hoping and praying Please God, Mamma ~ Be Safe, Be Safe, Be Safe Neon blue-red lights flickering and flashing. Through my open front door, I'm madly dashing. Looming through the haze, I hear them saying. 'Sorry, Miss, yet another random shooting Your Mamma just got caught in the cross-firing.' The last thing I hear is my own voice crying. MAMMA ~ THERE IS NO LOVE! THERE IS NO LOVE!

Maria, Wonderful poem revolves around the profound impact of poverty and violence on individuals and communities, particularly focusing on the emotional turmoil and despair experienced by those trapped in such circumstances. It poignantly expresses the longing for love and compassion in a world filled with suffering, loss, and lawlessness.

Thank you Sotto for your astute comment - indeed the world needs to recognise the circumstances the underprivileged, impoverished people who are in the situation not of their own making. Maria

So profoundly unsettling, unfortunately your sentiments would have rung true a thousand years ago and into the foreseeable future unless something changes dramatically in the human condition. Your video really struck a chord! Nice job. My best, Robert

Oh Dear Maria, I work in Philadelphia and have been here for over 15 years and the amount of violence, poverty, addictions and on and on.... I think you have emotionally expressed the deep anguish and despair over the lack of love and compassion in a world filled with violence, corruption, and suffering. Your question is valid: "Where is the love?" There is too much senseless violence and I have had family members and friends suffer to the point of death. What great words and passion for the suffering. Blessings, MY Dear Friend, Daniel

Dear Daniel, thank you for your astute comment. I admit that Ron and I were hoping you would stumble on this video, by your interest in my March poem and Tom’s ‘Mary Rogers , he invited us to make a video of. This issue pains most people. Is it the System? No matter who becomes President we hope, will address the problem. We’ve watched a lot of videos of the homeless in Philly. In Australia we are fortunate owing to our strict gun laws.

My sweet friend Inky, I really appreciate your lovely positive comments always. Lol, Yes Silent One's competition, we all won first place didn't we? It was for Mothers Day and I hardly thought my poem was appropriate, but I guess the point I was trying to make was spare a thought for the poor kids left with no mothers. Love and Light to you too always xxx

Thanks so much Andrea, at times I wonder if there's any hope left? But then I change my way of thinking and snap out of it, after all Hope is perhaps all we have left. I really appreciate your support ...Hugs

Superb lyrics (where did you find this urban vibe in you lol) and vid. A tragic story played out in every big city in America, perhaps daily in some. No remedy in sight except for divine intervention. You are uniquely talented Maria

Thanks so much Tommy. lol, I found the urban vibe years ago Ever since my teenage son at the time, introduced me to MC Hammer. Love the Black Eyed Peas still and the song of theirs, Where is the Love? So inspiring. Thanks my friend for the support always...Hugs

A powerful if sad video of the realities that exist in poor parts of most countries where the end often ends in tragedy. Where is the love, mamma? Indeed so hard to find these days. Excellent production and shows the power of Maria and Ron. Well done.
