I Have Seen

I have seen the government promise I have seen babies raped I have seen headless men lying on the road I have seen mothers battered for daughter's pregnancy I have seen old men dead on the road from hunger I have seen grandmothers dead in a flooded house I have seen mothers hacked by machetes by sons I have seen and lost hope in people I have seen life

WOW, It's awful, but it' also the beginning of the end, we are about to reap the power of the whirl wind. Look to the sky, The Four Horse Men. The King is coming.
