Different Times Online
I keep seeing
Alot of times
Many times
I have seen
Kurdish soldiers
Dancing in a circle
Singing a song
In 2003
They looked joyful
With their brothers
And even though
I couldn't understand
The language
I enjoyed watching
And then I watched
Many videos
About conflicts
Between Jews
And Palestinians
Man
Has many problems
So many conflicts
This one over land
So childish
The human race
And I'm no expert
On these matters
And I don't like
Taking sides
But it is
The Palestinians land
And an occupying force
Will always have
To rule by force
Suspecting grandmothers
Children
Is it just a crying child?
The IDF forces
Have to suspect everyone
I would like the Jews
To have a homeland
It just should be much smaller
Taking over
The Palestinians land
There will never be peace there
An ongoing war
Very sad
I took a journey
Journeyman pictures
Its amazing
To see what life
Is like
In other countries
Most people just want
To live in peace
Man seems destined
To repeat the same mistakes
And I saw a child soldier
In Monrovia Africa
Fighting with a group of men
And I saw the sunset
On a beach at
The Gaza strip
Beautiful landscapes
And terrible times
How can a place
So beautiful
Be filled with such
Violence and destruction?
Human beings are foolish
Be at peace
Live by the sword
Die by the sword
Live by the gun
Die by the gun
Maybe in my life time
Americans will get a taste
Of what life is like
In these poorer nations
As we become
A poorer nation overall
Troubling times
Not a stable place
This planet
I think of a world
With loving
And caring women
Where the gun
Was never invented
I'm lucky
I'm spoiled
I'm lazy
I don't work much
That's fine by me
I walk around
In a big garden
I'm tired
Of life
It is tiring
The monotony
The boredom
A bunch of desires
A ****** urge
Eat again
Work once in a while
I'm poor
I don't care
Please put money
In my account
I can't afford
These expensive bills
Are we changing
Are we becoming
More loving people?
Some are
But humanity
As a whole
No, we aren't
