Traveler

I've seen Paris I've seen Greece I've even seen Venice money well spent to achieve divine peace I've hitchhiked through the desert walked the Manhattan streets played imaginary football with cactus ran a marathon in a city made of concrete met many faces let many of them go turned my back, without looking back poetic verses now grow. went to a black and white ball in the hills played basketball in the slums partied with many different cultures hell, that's what makes life fun I've seen prejudice and all the pain it brings I've seen blacks and Jews persecuted in their favor i choose to sing I've seen the religious ethics of churches world wide heard many sermons, different principles i will not choose a side traveled one hundred thousand miles from coast to coast, swam naked in the river Nile invited Ghandi, played his host I have lived in in the ghetto, ate my dumplings fried, spent countless nights at Hilton, there's a limitless fortune in this mind.
