As a society we are completely broken. Like a piece of shattered glass- racism, fear, division, injustice, lack of compassion, pride, ignorance, and selfish motives have left us...broken in our wrongness. My heart breaks.

Their resemblance has changed though, no longer bright yellow and green, they now look like something you would find rotting inside a wastebasket, and if I hadn't known better that's where they would be going,...

The cries of pain catch my ears. I see you coming towards me, tears pouring down your face. You're hurting, and I know exactly where.
