Can't Hide From What's Happening: Abosute Reality By The Alarm



Everytime I read the newspaper or watch the news on television, it seems that the world is sinking deeper into chaos. Whether it's terrorism, oil shortage, ailing economy, the environment,etc., it seems that things are going from bad to worse. Nobody is spared from these issues and everyday we feel pressure from these problems more and more. Everybody is reaction to these developments vary from trying to cope, to complaining through rallies or simply going into a state of denial. When I hear the Alarm's song "Absolute Reality", it reminds me of the present state that the world is in and how it affects each of us.

When you the song for the first time, it's like the band is screaming into your ear as if they want you to be aware about what's happening around you. It doesn't matter if you are young,old, rich, poor, smart, dumb, these are issues that will be in your face and affect how you survive in this harsh society. Apart from that, it also urges people that they must act on this problems because they are very real and will not only plaque us, but also future generations as well. To sum it all up into two words: DO SOMETHING!!!

When things are getting worse, you can't just stand by and do nothing. Unfortunately there are those who care more about their own interest who not only cause all this problems but also promote it. One thing's for sure is that we shouldn't wait until it affects us because by then it might be too late. Whether what you can do is big or small, the important thing is that you act up and do your part to stop this crap. If more people follow, then we might be able to turn the tide and with God's blessing, eradicate it and I see the day when that happens.
