100 years ago our present was created
We ended up in a cage
100 years ago Iraq Oil was as important as it is now
The oil squeezed us, divided us, scattered us...
Now, this should be remembered, or does remembering this interfere with the present?
now gas, the same oil, water, soil, grain,
Everything,
Everything is as important as it was 100 years ago.
People are unimportant
Are we human or not?
Are people human or not human?
or
people are only human as much as other people want them to be...
(Gagik Ghazareh)
