You Said The Truth, There, Moses (my Brother) ... I Don't Care For Drama-Rama Nor Pretentious-Prim's ... As in Everything, The Solution is: To Find Balance (A Calm, Clean, and Compassionate Heart ...) Thank You For Your Insight, Moses ... Poet-Pal, MoonBee

Awe inspirational my lady, no truth, no real beauty, nothing that will ever mean anything at least. You know drama queens, have the biggest mouths I've ever seen. While the prim and proper, can tell big whoppers. Well you get the picture! Awesome write, Sincerely, Love, Moses
