Nature's wake from sleep
Life flirts with beauty
a time for flowers to flaunt

So where have you been lately. I am being tormented by Trump. Wonder what impressions are of him outside America.

hahahahaha.. I have been around, but moving from place to place.. First Nigeria, then Germany, then back o Nigeria and now in the UK.. Trump is unpopular in Europe, but not the case in Nigeria. The Christians there love him so much, even despite the travel ban on the country
