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
