The day before I died, the people who loved me were there. I wanted to go peacefully and they made sure I did. they watched as I slipped slowly away, asking God to forgive me.

The Day Before I Died

As I looked down upon them watching as they stared at my still body, I tried to reach out and wipe away their tears: as I touched their souls to assure them that I was finally at peace and had already reached my destination.

Karl P Boyer

A young Grace discovers the challenges in her life has made her an amazing actress.

Venting one’s anger through rioting and looting compares with the eruption of a volcano, or the winds of a hurricane. Once it erupts or hits land it destroys everything in its path.

Like wild animals, we fight back at society. Why? Because there is nothing left for our people, no jobs, no homes, and no food, but there are plenty of jails to hold us.

It is ironic that we spent most of our lives hating each other. Only to find ourselves old, helpless, and in need of each other.

While keeping the above in mind, how are we to leave the past alone and get on with the future? Show us a future! Set examples of hope, and give us our freedom so we can stop dreaming bad thoughts.
