Cultural Sight

 

You’re born into a culture
And it shows you the world.


An extra large threadless t-shirt
A touch down scored at the big game
Performing in drumline on a snare drum
Action packed sequences of Hollywood
A man on the street in a hot dog suit, Inviting you in to order today’s special.
Smooth, black pavement with
the occasional pothole
Bells ringing at the local church.
A $150 pair of Nikes
A million dollar, three bedroom, two bath, house in a decent neighborhood with the view of a sunset hidden behind taller buildings.


A traditional kurta shirt
An amazing pitch at the cricket match
Listening to a tabla performance.
Romantic scenes of Bollywood
A man with a basket, a snake and a flute charming you with rhythmic tunes to earn a coin or two.
Worn dirt road with the occasional rock.
Bells ringing at the local temple.
A 50 rupee ($1) pair of sandals
A two story house-with marble floors and a view of a glowing red sunset across fields of crops for less than 25% of the price of the other house.

 

Then when you’ve seen the world long enough
You create your own culture.
