BAD THINGS HAPPEN

BAD THINGS HAPPEN Bad things do happen And you did Mellifluous deception No sorrow No contrition Forward you go Stealing souls. Shattering dreams Shards of evil An innocent heart bleeds I wonder now what innocence You smell Sulphur and brimstone The stench of Hell 
— Geremia, Mar 30, 2009

You are picking up a few more with your work, I think that it takes people like Orgami to be able to read your work and comment on it with a truth that sees your work correctly. Me I just say what I feel, and this to me is you shouting at the Devil and shifting the blame a little, when with a little less memory and a greater love for yourself would scare that dark place into the light LOL , Youtake care of you and your work, Yours Ian.T
