Darkness and light

bordered by seas
America seemed safe and secure...
Twin Towers up in flames
Her southern border down the drain...

Our Galaxy~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the late hours of the nights,
we created our own galaxy.
Every fear, every hope,

For one more day
And the...

Nothing left to giveThe world is burning
And there is nothing that I can do to make it stop

So I share posts in hopes of someone else having money
I have such little hope
So I share posts...
