Hell

We are
in
Hell.
We make
the best
of it,
but,
make no
mistake 
we are all
In hell.
Trapped on
an orb
surround by
endlessness.
No
hope of 
escape.
Look around.
Hate,
violence,
madness,
suffering,
mayhem,
destruction,
cancer,
p­ain,
disease,
illness,
war.
Why?
The suffering,
the 
decadence,
evil.
What kind
of god
would treat
us
this way?
The kind
that put
us 
in
Hell!

Well, there is more good than evil if we just look around to find it. We have many young people with great capabilities but how we treat and encourage those young people is left up to us. I want to be a part of helping them overcome and contribute something good and great to our society. Sara
