RE: Oh We People of Constant Sorrow - Original

in #poetry7 years ago

"And as the dangers grow
evil tries to force us home
all the while forgetting we
stand on lands we used to roam"

This reminds me of how the Spaniards, Japanese and Americans tried to steal our country. Good thing we have freedom now. Great poem man! :)

Thanks for reading! Where are you from? I am trying to think of a place that both the Spanish and Japanese tried to conquer. But I am glad that they were not successful :)

Philippines. :) Well, the Spaniards had a great influence in our culture coz we borrowed a lot of words from them, and we still use it a lot. The Japanese tortured and killed lots of my countrymen during world war 2. And the Americans? Well, they're the good ones. That's why we are kinda Americanized. Fastfood, it's our 2nd language, technology etc. :-)

Oh ok. I did not know that the Spanish made it to the Philippines. Knew about the Japanese however. Fastfood is the primary language here in America :p

I like your In and Out burger, that's a really great language to eat. :D

Haha I've never had that one. They don't have them where I live

Oh I thought they're selling it all over US. How about Denny's? Do you have that in your area? :D

In and Out is only in California I beleive. Dennys is around where I am, but not a lot. Most people go to Waffle House instead lol
