Where is the Love
“Where is the Love?” by Black Eyed Peas
The world has been changed, corrupted, and damaged, so people often ask themselves “where is the love?” as demonstrated in the song “Where is the Love?” by William Adams, Justin Timberlake, Jamie Gomez, Allan Pineda, Printz board, Michael Frantantuno, George Pajon Jr., and John Curtis. “Where is the Love?” is the best song because the lyrics, figurative language, and rhetorical devices teach a great message. The song laments on various worldwide problems throughout the song. The many issues discussed include but are not limited to terrorism, U.S. government hypocrisy, racism, war, and greed. With so much animosity in the world, no wonder people often wonder if there is still love. This song tells its listeners that all of these dreadful events need to come to an end.
“Where is the love?” asks the audience whether or not there is love in the world. The punctuation in the lyrics emphasizes questioning the listener where is the love? The lyrics repeat the apostrophe to accentuate that the world is both confusing and disappointing. Throughout the song the punctuation remains parallel with the tone of the song showing the concerns for the suffering people.
The biblical allusion “Can you practice what you preach/And would you turn the other cheek,” demonstrates how people need help from God. “Father, Father, Father help us/Send some guidance from above,” expresses to the listener that people often seek aid from a higher power during a time of need. The use of repetition magnifies the need for help. Another allusion is the reference “But we still got terrorists here livin’/In the USA, the big CIA/The Bloods and the Crips and the KKK.” This refers to gangs that are in the USA that are not benefiting their own country.
The song’s structure includes internal, slant, and irregular end rhymes. The rhymes are used to make the poem more interesting for the listeners to appreciate the message. One such message
