Class Action, and the Marlboro Man

Point by point, to now address your wicked ways ? Listening the other day unto a young old man speaking About this passing and his beloved wife, of eighteen years How in that they had owned a restaurant together until one day She was diagnosed with cancer a mere six months later her light was gone.. Devestated his heart as wondering about this life ever since ? My own mother carrying an oxygen tank for ten years an accident Her beauty had also flown away; and roughly four hundred thousand Succumb unto this plague, year after year after year ? Herein lies evil's twist Yet only amid these shores hence Babylon, shall one find such sorrows.... A conspiracy would we imagine if not for the fact it all seems futile when hearts Are silenced to be muted by such ghost an enemy within this machine As her human race ? Governments around the globe his entities, of darkened woes.

It is truly a sad truth that so many lives had to be lost because of this...but we shall continue to fight, and you have done your part, portraying the sadness and depression in full power through words. I will always support you :)
