what's goin' on ?

As I sit here, watching the news, all I can think is what's goin' on ?
War, violence, shooting, killing, swine flu, &&the economy are what is talked about everyday. When you see an honor student on the news that has been killed by gang violence, all you can do is say really though? That's someone's life. And the sad thing is young people, MY generation, doesn't care about they hurt. What's goin' on ?

Everyday when I hear about this economy, our economy, I think about my future. When 10,000 people are losing jobs, ii began to think how am I suppose to get a job when I get older? I mean I can't predict the future, im just basing it off of what I know. Whats goin' on ?

I see the war on tv and im thinking to myself, when is it going to over? Couple of years? A decade? Never? When is our economy going to see a bright side? When are our young people going to stop killing eachother over senseless things? I don't have the answer, all I can think is What's Goin' On People ?

&&at the end of the day, ii just want the old times back.

Lets go back to seventh grade, when ii told you everything, and you told me everything. You were indeed my bestfriend. There wasn't one day where we didnt communicate. I just want those times backk.Now lets go to eighth grade, in english and math class. Great times if ii must say so myself. That year was greatttt ! Now, lets go way back to elementary school. First grade type stuff. When you were so young that you didnt judge anyone, you just had fun and played with whoever. &&remember when people had holiday spirit? Im talking about like Christmas and Halloween. When people actually wanted to decorate their homes with lights and put up the christmas tree. I remember when ii use to wake up in the morning and it would just feel like christmas. Now its like ii wake up, get my one gift and go back into my room.But now lets go to 5th grade. Man ii had some good times that year. If ii could do it over, ii definitely would. The teacher was definitely the best teacher ever.Now we go to ninth grade. We had our group, &&we had tons of fun. [WE] were unbreakable. [WE] went tons of places together. [WE] laughed, [WE] joked, && [WE] played. [WE] helped out one another with our problems and it was just, GREAT.Man, ii just want the good times back ya know ?But now ? its just ALL wrong, &&it seems like those things are just things of the past.
