DEATH IS LIFE!
“What lives that does not live from the death of someone else?” This is a profound statement. The lone truth of the living.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
What I am penning here may sound insensitive, but in reality, it is not. Whatever stated here are facts, rational and logical. Allow me to talk of equal opportunity.
