In a land with no borders
Stands a lonely soldier on guard
He is obligated to keeping the peace
And so he stands guard fully committed

As time goes by a thought passes through his head
He suppresses it for a while but boredom keeps it alive
The thought is so good and yet it is so horrible he stamps his feet
A feeling of despair comes over him, the thought took over

In a land with no borders
Stands a lonely soldier on guard
What is he to do if there will be peace
If an army is not needed his time has ended

If there are no borders then no one is after the land he guards
If no one is a fret there is no mission of guarding non existing borders
Looking beyond the borders he understands that his existence is making borders
A feeling of despair come over him, he needs a war to strive for peace

In a land with no borders
Stands a lonely soldier on guard
He is obligated to keeping the peace
And so he stands guard fully committed

This is utopia. A land with no borders.
However, the Internet provides a look into a world like that. Let me tell you that judging by DA - it could work. There is tolerance, support, and understanding. Sure there is hate, but these are stupid soldiers in need of a border to have themselves a definition of what they are fighting for. So let me use this stage to salute all of you international deviantart land – I’m proud to be looking beyond the borders with you.

There is a bug in the DA system with showing the number of favorites. I still get alerts on the favorites added, so it works, don't worry...

The picture was taken near Eilat, Israel.

Wonderful and breathtaking view as well as a great concept! I bet any soldier who saw this would be in a sudden utopia away from any fighting that they do.
Great photo. =] :thumbsup:

Yes, a salute to those who would dissolve the borders. Even though I have very few submissions of my own, I still stick to dA like glue. The creativity, imagination, and support that makes this place such a wonderful place to be is hard to pull away from. Excellent composition. Beautiful photograph as usual. Keep up the great work Gilad. :)

Excellent atmosphere.

I feel the negative space doesn't add anything.

But a :+fav: indeed
