Favorite Quote:
&quot;Yesterday is gone, Today is almost over, and Tomorrow may never come.&quot; <br /> &quot;Life never goes how you plan it&quot; <br /> &quot;Stay alert Stay Alive&quot;<br /> &quot;Never give up on yourself, you will always, always suprise yourself&quot;


I crouch,
barefoot and crying
on the forest floor.

These people are vicious,
with their metal guns,
and green uniforms… soldiers.
Help me.
I have a family,
two daughters and a son.
My wife is gone,

taken by these men.
Help me.
One man points the metal gun
towards me. He laughs,
speaking in a another language…

One I cannot understand.
Help me.
Smirking, he says something else,
Then, he pulls the trigger.
help-
