When the Wicked Prosper, The Righteous Gets Confused:

Besides, I’m a disciple of the God of Nature and Laws of Balance, so our question is, what can we do to make it better?

Lying to Themselves and Hoping that We Believe:
Lying down is never the same as standing up, and all our lives we have been lied to about our worth and value, so what they painted as our History was tailored to fit the Fantasies of others...

When Governments Make Themselves the Enemy:
We may dislike the Truth, but we need it, so the things I say may not be to your liking, but they are necessary for our People & Country... Perhaps you heard them before but regarded yourself as special, and immune to the hardships of life... However, thanks to Governments and their Agencies, our Children are becoming strangers in their own Home, and residents of His Majesty’s Prison and local Graveyards.
