Where is the love?

Death in Darfour
Where is the love?

Where is the love?

Chaos and confusion in Chechnya
Where is the love?

Where is the love?

Guns galore, shootings in cities
Where is the love?

Colour v. Colour
Where is the love?

Religion v. Religion
Where is the love?

Where is the love?

Nation v. Nation

How ironic that on this day of “love”, even cupid carries a bow and arrow.
