DMZ a'Dreamin'

I’m here at the DMZ—this is the Freedom Bridge, right behind me—you can see the guard post, back there. So, hopefully you can see the bridge and the guard post, and this is the DMZ, the “demilitarized zone”.
So, it all serves a purpose, at least a temporary purpose. It’s kind of interesting when you think about the Berlin Wall, or even the Great Wall of China, and now we’ve got the DMZ. Eventually, these areas come down, they change—uh, they are no longer relevant. But as much as we don’t like them, remember, they serve a purpose—there’s a reason for this right now. Eventually, it will change. But, uh, we have to understand why these things exist.
So, maybe there’s a wall, or a DMZ, between you and one of your friends or family members. Um, think about why it exists, and maybe what you need to do to work about reunification—which they’re trying to do here, in the Koreas.Okay! From the DMZ, in North, South Korea actually, this is Bill. Bye, bye!

Key Words

Demilitarized-adj- the removal of soldiers/weapons/fighting equipment. (although there are some at the DMZ)

Temporary-adj-only for a short time. Something that is in place, but will change later.

Reunification-n-bringing back together two things that were, and still are seperated.
