It hurts my brain,When I observe,The politics of selfish men.And that our age-old truths,Aren’t accepted by the church,Anymore! How can we be free?When the liberties they take,Become our bondage.It corrupts my flesh and injures my soul.For it seeks to destroy,The … Continue reading Post-Moderism

Every year many humans needlessly die.Some are females, but most are males.Some are prideful, some are stubborn,but most have road-rage. Why do they struggle,why do they have to argue,why can’t they just go with the flow? When they were young,were … Continue reading What Is Driving You
