young soldiers- Lee

Heaven sent them on the earth/ with the bless of good aim/
Children of the sun/ he calls his sons name/
New life begins with/free from all sins and all blame/
they born with every rights to enjoy life and dreams to frame/
Soldiers take away their dreams, hopes, lights to drain/
Lack of soldiers to fight that's what they claim/
I see those pure diamonds stained with blood of young birds/
Sacrifice their pure soul in the centre of cold world/
its worse than cold war/
when they can see their own world/
They don't even know what's ABC/
Heap of dead bodies that's what they see/
tiny hands holding AK47/

they learn to kill people before they reach 7/

They never pray to heaven/cuz they living in a life of hell/
Never wish to reach heaven/ they hear the last funeral bell/

Korea -Lee

brothers, sisters and family got splited. our land cut into two halves. Now they living two different lives. I see my grandmama sighs. how the time flies. She's praying to meet her husband. the reality she facing stimulates her tear gland. Looking at the sepia old picture still having young heart's lovesick. Ideology doesn't assure the happiness of our brothers. Only thing we need is getting back our old brothers.

WHY

Why do we sing when it's time to recite
Why do we remain silent when it's time to shout
Why do we run when it's time to slow down
Why do we fight when there is peace
Why do we long for something which we cannot have
Why do we cry for something that's not worth crying over
Why do we pretend to laugh when it hurts badly inside
Why do we regret when nothing can be solved out anymore
Why do we love living life in a twisted way
And why does the word 'Why' need to be used every time
WHY??

STEREOTYPING WON'T END

I have had encountered many bad experiences. Once i went out at 8.30 pm just near my house to fetch some needs from the shop. An unknown guy on a bike came to me asking me the way and i gave him the direction. After when I thought that he would go away, he came near me and pulled me on my hand. Luckily my sisters and friend came with a scooter and the guy ran off. After that incident, i believed that every mainstream guys are such desperate people when it comes to girls.
Another incident where one Mallu guy called me up on my phone and insulted me so bad, telling me that my accent was funny. I never knew where he got my number from and from that moment on, i started hating the Mallus like anything.
Once, a colleague of mine told me that the Kannada people doesn't have brains since he has often seen them getting into trouble for no proper reason.
I remember a cousin of mine telling me that her friend believes that all chinky girls can sleep with any men if it's for the sake of money.
I've heard many people saying that Africans are dirty and not to be trusted.
We Indians like to talk about the English people for their prejudices and we have the mindset that every Englishman would be arrogant and stiff due to the impact of colonialism.
There are many experiences which cannot be fully mentioned in this post. Anyway, it is important to know that we tend to generalize the whole community just because of the fault of one or two people who left a bad impression on others. Will this stop? The answer is 'NO'. As long as the earth keeps on revolving, stereotyping will not stop. However, let us remember that while there are many bad people, there are also many good people and it is not the wisest thing to keep on generalizing certain communities. And this is what i am also still learning.
