good or evil? love or hate?

nancy raphan-robison

Guns shoot
People die
Why?
Love fails
Hatred reigns
Caine?
Good gone
Evil wins
Sins?
Need faith
Do not despair
CARE!

    Life is not considered precious anymore, from the start it didn't last very long.
    With 8 billion now in the world, our net worth is just a grain of sand ! Here today and gone tomorrow. and soon forgotten ! From dust to dust !
    So a lot of us become poets and try to figure it out !

    The USA has a gun couture like no other, guns kill by evil people
    And it won't get any better !
