ms. lauryn hill : neurotic society
"I noticed a long time ago that our social system has a fatal structural flaw. The degradation of information, which by all rights should not be degradable, and the illusory originality known as ‘individuality ’. These are the two things that trigger synchronization all too easily within our system. In every society, there exist personalities that the system longs for. People lust after them. But in spite of that, they are unaware of that longing…inherently creating, a stand alone complex."

sleepless nights i lie awake on my bed
i’m hearing voices it sounds like they’re calling my name
there’s just whispers all over the room
can somebody wake me up from this dream

So i reach out to touch this voice but its not there anymore

I go crazy without you by my side
I am lonely without you by my side

It’s hard to believe that
It’s hard to accept that
my soul cries for you

the space that you left in my heart
is bigger than the universe

I am crying
I’m dying
I’m trying
to accept this emptiness

and the reason of you leaving
I can understand

I go crazy without you by my side
I’m losing my mind
I am lonely without you by my side

I wish i could send my soul to speak to your soul (soul to soul)
I wish i could send my heart to speak to your heart (heart to heart)
and maybe just maybe you’ll come back
and love me again

"

I know that lately,
things haven’t been so good.
I’ve always said,
“that if I could ever help you, I would.”

I love you for a thousand years.
I’m here to wipe away the tears.

I will be your friend,
until the end of time.
I will be your friend.
I’m here to make you smile.

When your falling apart I’ll pick up each piece,
and build a wall around your dream.
The punches to your heart,
melt away when you never thought they’d heal.

“So trust in me!”
These are the words I tattoo on you.
If Hercules can’t pick you up now,
then I really am true.

"Central and northern Nigeria exemplify what happens when a country abandons certain regions so completely, failing to provide adequate education, social services, development, employment, and transparent political culture: extreme results rise up. In Plateau, I have spent time with a Christian who makes and sells guns, a reflective twenty-two-year old man with melancholic eyes who once thought he would go to college and start his own business, until his hometown became an undeclared war zone."
