God and religion are not synonymous.

as far as the title “A World of 100″, I read a book about a year and a half ago, that had a series of infographics with statistics depicting the world that we live in today, as a community of 100 people under various classifications; 86 can read, 14 can’t — 1 has HIV, 99 don’t — 48 are slaves, 52 are not — etc. 

so this gave me an idea. after vigorous research, i realized we live in a completely fucked up world. i brought the idea of the world we live in shrunken into a community of 100 people, but took it a step further. i visualized myself walking through this community, with current events in mind. such as: numerous churches being set to flames in niger, delaware, florida, etc., just in the past year alone; human beings killing each other senselessly; police brutality to the point that we as citizens don’t even feel safe around the people who pledge to serve and protect us; children being forced into war in the middle east and abroad; the fact that there’s a group of individuals who don’t care about any of this because it doesn’t effect them; and last but certainly not least, the fact that we as humans have the audacity to blame God for the tragedy we’ve created amongst ourselves.

the ending question is simple — “what have we done?” and “what do we do?”keeping all of this in mind now, listen again and read along.

Three blind nuns in the back of a sheltered buildingHoly water, Lord do you hear our cries?Out back there's a couple of men for the purgeTo set fire to the church, is it cold outside?What did we lose?Oh, bang bang shots from the clip of the gunOh, is anywhere safe, do you live on the run?What do you do?

What have we done?What have we done?What do we do?

What have we done?

Look at the childrenAll lined up in a scare getting ready for warA block down, in a no man landThere's a band of 13, playing kingIs it to late for us?What do we do?How do you believe in a God that's been watchingAll the hell from the heaven above?

I see what you meanBut don't you think much more was expected of us?Where is the love?
