Realidade impossível de ignorar

Todos os dias, chegam-nos a casa pela tv notícias de fome, destruição e guerra de uma parte do Mundo... Sei que é quase uma utopia este "Não à guerra", mas decidi fazer esta montagem por causa do título de um concurso de fotografia. (fotos tiradas da internet; tudo o resto by me)

Relacionado com a tua imagem (muito boa, by the way), vou colocar aqui algo que alguém colocou no myspace num bulletin:

It may take you two minutes to read this, but if you do not take the time to read this you are one of the people this post is talking about.
=========================================
You stay up for 16 hours

He stays up for days on end.
_________________________
You take a warm shower to help you wake up.

He goes days or weeks without running water.
__________________________
You complain of a "headache," and call in sick.

He gets shot at as others are hit, and keeps moving forward.
__________________________
You put on your anti war/don't support the troops shirt, and go meet up with your friends.

He still fights for your right to wear that shirt.
__________________________
You make sure you're cell phone is in your pocket.

He clutches the cross hanging on his chain next to his dog tags.
________ ____________ ______
You talk trash about your "buddies" that aren't with you.

He knows he may not see some of his buddies again.
__________________________
You walk down the beach, staring at all the pretty girls.

He patrols the streets, searching for insurgents and terrorists.
_________________________
You complain about how hot it is.

He wears his heavy gear, not daring to take off his helmet to wipe his brow.
__________________________
You go out to lunch, and complain because the restaurant got your order wrong.

He doesn't get to eat today.
__________________________
Your maid makes your bed and washes your clothes.

He wears the same things for weeks, but makes sure his weapons are clean.
__________________________
You go to the mall and get your hair redone.

He doesn't have time to brush his teeth today.
__________________________
You're angry because your class ran 5 minutes over.

He's told he will be held over an extra 3 months.
__________________________
You call your girlfriend and set a date for tonight.

He waits for the mail to see if there is a letter from home.
__________________________
You hug and kiss your girlfriend, like you do everyday.

He holds his letter close and smells his love's perfume.
__________________________
You roll your eyes as a baby cries.

He gets a letter with pictures of his new child, and wonders if they'll ever meet.
__________________________
You criticize your government, and say that war never solves anything.

He sees the innocent tortured and killed by their own people and remembers why he is fighting.
__________________________
You hear the jokes about the war, and make fun of men like him.

He hears the gunfire, bombs and screams of the wounded.
__________________________
You see only what the media wants you to see.

He sees the broken bodies lying around him.
__________________________
You are asked to go to the store by your parents. You don't.

He does exactly what he is told.
__________________________
You stay at home and watch TV.

He takes whatever time he is given to call, write home, sleep, and eat.
__________________________
You crawl into your soft bed, with down pillows, and get comfortable.

He tries to sleep but gets woken by mortars and helicopters all night long.
