Iraqi Hymnal

mmmmm..... it's a good thing that I can close my eyes and type at the same time. I can feel everything around me with my senses going crazy. The army tought me to shut my senses off and create two new ones which will keep me alive. Truth be told, they did. Just like a cigarette though, they don't just turn off. I feel the sand blowing on my jeans, I see the arabs and they all seem to have guns. My ears rng from the sound of bullets flying near me. Finally my eyes water because of the intense heat and sand entering my eyes. It's a simplistic lifestyle that anyone can live....If you can handle changine your lifestyle. I remember my recruitment video which showed pictures of happy soldiers, the ones you most likely will see on t.v. What you do not know is that these soldiers have been pre screened and were probably sleeping beore posing in some serene environment for a picture. Yet our society looks down at a country like china because of their upfront image concerns. Wouldn't you rather be upfront than telling yourself a daily lie? I don't know how you feel, but this concerns me and it should concern america.
Anyways, I hope you feel a little closer to me
