*Another mass shooting today at a church  in TX

As the world spins Mass shootings attack here Continued from the anger Years of division fueled There is no staying blind To this crisis anymore Criminals have been empowered As recent years went by It is about the criminality mindset The riots were allowed The enemy also infiltrated Yet, the actions these past years, Led to this, still goes ignored Truth must be acknowledged Americans are dying Right before our very eyes Our country is weakened By a constant effort to tear it down Transform it day to day We are imploding from within ---- As we weep --- Heidi Sands 11/5/17
