Love and devotion (Series).

Well, I got inspired to work on these from the racism act all over the world. Most especially against the black community. The reason I made my muse’s children is to communicate well to my audience. From listening to Michael Jackson’s lost children and heal the world. I discovered that we all were born into this world knowing nothing about race. We all loved each other dearly but as we began to grow either from our parents or from our immediate society, we were told and taught about the race we truly are. I feel hating one another starts from there. So the message I was passing through the series is that we all need the mind of a child to make this world a better plan. A mind filled with love and respect for one other, a mind filled with forgiveness and loyalty.

As a result of racism, we are lost children. It is the antagonism, discrimination, or prejudice that tends to be directed against other people because they are of different ethnicity or a different race. To begin with, the use of racism is a powerful weapon to encourage hatred and fear among people. To date, many around the world suffer from the stigma and injustice racism brings. No nation can claim to be free of racism as it is a global concern and tackling it will require a universal effort. Racial discrimination not only happens on matters of color but also on ethnic origin, national origin, descent, and race. Truly we are lost children. Is there more than meets the eye? In the end, We all should take to account to confront our stereotypes and biases. We must condemn racism whenever we see it without hesitation, qualification, or reservation.
