Learning Curve
Learning Curve ~~~~~ We’ve waited so long to fix the world It’s now chaos, nothing but confusion.

On a Bus to Nowhere
On a Bus to Nowhere ~~~~~ As we are all and all are us, if we rise or fall. why make a fuss? Eating daily is nice Clothing, shelter, too. Haves and have-nots but at what price, selfish, greedy people jump the queue? How do the rest of us, who far outnumber those we grant […]

Red Shifted
