spoken:
Think about the generations and to say we want to make it a better
world for our children and our children's children. So that they know
it's a better world for them; and think if they can make it a better
place.

There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much
Brighter than tomorrow.
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel
There's no hurt or sorrow.
There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space, make a better place.

Chorus:
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for
You and for me.

If you want to know why
There's a love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares for joyful giving.
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear or dread
We stop existing and start living
Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
Make a better world, make a better world.

Chorus:
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race.
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for
You and for me.

Bridge:
And the dream we would conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth, crucify it's soul
Though it's plain to see, this world is heavenly
Be God's glow.

We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel
You are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we'll cry happy tears
See the nations turn
Their swords into plowshares
We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space to make a better place....

This is a quote from the Bible concerning a future time when the Messiah comes to rule the earth.  Isaiah 2:4

4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

[Jowayria]

Omg ! Wtf is going on in our world ?! why can't people just live in peace and harmony ?
I feel so sorry for those parents who lost their kids , but I am more sorry to have nothing to offer  these families but my prayers !  I just fail to understand how a such horrible thing could happen to children ! they are just babies for heaven's sake !
But again , the problem is THEY always say THEY're going to take meaningful actions to prevent such things from happening again , but THEY never do !!

@ Andrea You're so right ! Our world does definitely need Michael !
@Front  I'll surely be with you and with everyone else . Thank you for your initiative , kindness and for your reminder .

I want you guys to know that you all matter and that you are so loved and respected ! I love you all
 :bearhug:

God bless you
love

Michael in "This Is It": 

[...]That's why it makes me so angry when I see these things that are happening,
[...] 
I mean, that kind of stuff really bothers me.
That's why I write these kinds of songs, you know.
It gives some sense of awareness and awakening and hope to people.
[...]
Because the planet is sick. Like a fever.
If we don't fix it now, it's at the point of no return.
This is our last chance to fix this problem that we have,
where it's like a runaway train and the time has come.
This is it. 
I love you.
[...]
People are always saying, "They'll take care of it.
 The government'll... Don't worry. They'll..."
"They" who? It starts with us. It's us.
Or else it'll never be done.

@Front or should I say Michael?...you always know how to chose beautiful words to describe anything I love the way your brain works and how you show your huge endlessly love to everyone I sometimes feel kinda healthy jealousy I hope you understand what I mean, you can count on me for the vigil prayers tomorrow I will be here with the rest of this beautiful family and we will virtually be holding hands and sending healing thoughts to these little angels parents and families.

MJonmind:

Yes you are right that money should be used for children education and to ensure a job for them in the future.

diggyon:

@ Mr Front,
thank you so much for your kind initiative. I will also include other children in my prayers, children who died in the last couple of weeks in tragic accedents but the news didn't cover these  accidents!

If you are talking about the 47 children who died in a train accident in Egypt and 20 more children in Syria then I am well aware of it and I will pray for them too.

Joining you all in sadness, with thoughts and love for all those hit by these daily tragedies. News such as we had yesterday certainly puts things sharply back into perspective. xxx

Is that a sign that we are doing something wrong?

[hesouttamylife]

It is a sign that we have to stop waiting for someone else, i.e. the government, to solve our issues.  They don’t care!  Not on their lists of priorities.  Our children are our MAIN priority and if we want to make sure they are safe then we obviously will have to rise up and make our voices heard.  It’s going to take more than just talking.  It’s going to take time and effort and leg work and exercising our rights to protest. If the government cannot assure us that or children are safe in their government run institutions of learning, then why are we bound by law to send them there?  Until they do something to ensure or children’s safety, give us the means and the tools necessary to teach them at home.  We should not have to worry that when we send our children to school each morning that we just “might” be sending them to slaughter.  When did this become accepted and the norm?  The killing has to stop. 

[BeTheChange]

[...]Tragic. Senseless. Heart breaking. “Why?” No one can answer…

In times like this we must choose – move away from God, or move toward God.

Today, we pray for families grieving the loss of a child.

“God, bring comfort and peace. Peace is your essence. Peace is your name. Bring peace to this family who has lost their precious child in death.
We come to you, God because we know that you sorrow, and are acquainted with grief. You too have endured the loss of a child. You empathize.

We can’t help but ask, “Why?” Forgive our insistence, our confusion, even our anger. We believe that you are just, and we ache to understand how this tragic death is an expression of that justice, how it expresses your love. We also know – in our minds at least – that you seldom answer the “why?” question. We press you, but on these matters you are mostly silent.

What we ask instead is “how?” How can we move forward? How can this bring us together and not tear us apart? How can we now live under the shadow of this untimely death? Answer this prayer with your comfort and guidance.

There is no way to remove the pain. The grief is real. The only sanity is to know, to believe, in a life beyond with you, when all the scales are righted and the sufferings are made good. We trust you and your promise that while this child’s life on earth is done, his life beyond has just begun. With that release we lose him and let him go into your arms, then by faith receive in return the boundless comfort of your presence. That is all, that is enough.

May God watch over those grieving families...and over us all.

With L.O.V.E. always.

[Elsa]

I join in praying for the grieving families of these beautiful children and for their schoolfriends.  It is heartbreaking.

Is that a sign that we are doing something wrong?

It means we still have work to do.

The world is still angry, the world is still hurting, the world is still lost.

If there is one person who does not know peace, then none of us have peace.

...God sometimes makes us pause and look around to remind us what's important in this life.



It's heartbreaking, yes...but it means we still have much work to do.

I am so very sorry about your mom MJ4ever777...I haven't been on in a long time.... and it's snowing... I wish the shooting didn't happen....

[~Souza~]

As horrific as it is what happened, this is still a hoax forum and this thread is a hoax thread, although it's more like a game thread lately that goes off topic constantly. It is unfair to judge people that still discuss the hoax in here. Not everyone feels the need to express their grief and horror in public, and it doesn't mean they do not care.

I hope we can go back to the original topic and discuss anything not related to the hoax on HoaxBook. Maybe someone can make a new group for this.
