I Can Feel It In the Air

We're in a bad state of our life. The nation is in a uproar over simple-minded things. Why we let a thing such as oil run our life? Women in short skirts. Known in the "Hood" as female dogs. But we don't see how much they really hurt. Gang shooting two young black males hurt one dead. Ten seconds later there's a Ak shot in the air. "This just in! Five year old girl hit by a stray bullet!" That's what the reporter said. Seventeen year old girl three kids one on the way. Babydaddy stay knocking her off her feet. He leaves no money, but two darked eyes, how will the kids eat today? "He was such a bright son, I don't know what went wrong." That's what the upset mother said with tears in her eyes. Docters said the bullet can't be removed. Her son dies just because he had to nmake them look past his size. "Dear Nation, we're at war with Japan, Cuba, China!" Said the president of the United Sates. We push them to make toys. shoes, and food. How much did we think they could take? People I write this not to get you mad nor sad. I'm just trying make you all watch out ffor that day. Take hold of every good time you ever had. Naw, I joke you not sir! The Lord Jesus might show up out the wood works. Call me crazy if you want, but look I can feel it in the air!
