I was in a dream-like state. Walking through towns, not hearing. Driving on roads, not watching. My mind was elsewhere. I am not sure what caused this emotional and physical state but I do know it all started with the civil war of our political parties. Are we not meant to unite together and not fight? We are a country of hope, "The Free Land," and yet, nobody is really free from anything. North vs. South Italy. Northern Ireland vs. itself. And now America is, too, fighting with each other.
"It was like a film" (Resurrection Man), it was not like real life.
Fighting. Always fighting. And now with each other. What is the cause of this? What is the purpose?
I was suddenly awaken by the sound of music coming from the street. The blood was rushing back to my appendages. I was walking. Then jogging. Then sprinting to the music on the street. What I heard was a young boy playing and singing a beautiful tune.

Men sailing on their ego trips,
Blast off on their spaceships. Million miles from reality.
No care for you no care for me.
-Bob Marley
Even he, such a young boy, knew the fight of our society. We would all like the change, but can we not all change together? Then I was back in my daze, my dream-like state. But, I know this will never happen in this "Free Land."
