"I know you,
you want to exploit me,
you always come here from far away and point your camera in my face to document my misery,
you follow me like am an animal waiting for an expression that I would give,
you photograph me with enthusiasm as if I am a circus attraction and without permission,
shame on you,
I know you cant wait to show your friends my unimaginable situation, and feel proud that you actually experienced it for a few minutes,
you profit from a situation your forefathers created centuries ago in my country,
my silly brothers behind me smile at you only because they are curious and blind, but I know you,
You return to a so-called organized and civilized place and pray to God you were lucky enough not to be in my shoes,
You humor me with your superficial smile and try to act like you are my friend after your shutter clicks but thats only to ignore what you just did,
In your mind you think you are smarter, cleaner and more civilized but look at your self and tell me what would you do without your internet, your cell phone or your Monday night football?
you live and prosper in a tangible world full of greed and mystery of what tomorrow brings and thats why you wage wars to secure your bounties but I live free and in complete harmony with my land and my mind, I am the victor but only from the inside and the grass is greener on my land.
but I know you......and I let you do this because I am the tourist and your life is Divine Comedy to me"
