6000 Miles From Home

"Each experience is locked within my heart and only I hold the key..." Stifling heat,hectic surroundings,locals their lifestyle politeness,honesty stems from karma overwhelming profile hardworking for a pitance,food to provide sending money to the village,the family to divide. Monies earned in cities,triple valued north tourist prices enable the workers to go forth. Youths sleeping beneath cardboard,such a crying shame reds and blues collide,goverment all to blame. On arriving home,no possibility to explain the differance Thailand throws from luxury to the pain however life goes on,in Pattaya o so what a thrill to walk the golden dragon stairs, the giant Buddah on the hill. Paul Beadnall for: Sponsor Constance La France ~ A Rambling Poet ~ Contest Name A Fragment Of Life 21/8/11

I can't connect the last verse to the previous ones? I thought I was in Texas or a Mexican border state and then found out I was in Thailand? Maybe one more verse before the last? Or letting us know where we are in verse 1? light & love

I like it, I like it. Where we go changes us. Was the Freddie Mercury tribute you attended with your Skinbob (I like it, I like it) filmed? Would like to have it unless only you have the key. Nola (Perez)
