Outside the US


Living in a world

Called the USA

Ingnorant of others

Because they're only on maps

But took a journey outside

And saw my world

Isn't the only world

That exists on Earth

South Korea

Is on my planet

But not in my world

The uniqueness of Seoul

And the history of Gyengju

Had me thinking one thing:

I was trapped in mine

Too trapped in mine

To realize others

Had much to offer

So I opened my world

And opened my mind

The igorance I harbored

Blew away in the wind

I love my world

Called the USA

But now I know

I have others as well
