Why

Woke up to a sunny day

Life had been smiling at them

They hoped summer to enjoy

In heaven were found!

* Latest from Greek tragedy: 80 dead, 150 injured, 100 missing, 1500
houses destroyed and counting...! All this could have been minimized
if the Greek state had done its job properly but it never does, just play 
politics and thus sacrificing its citizens! Rest in peace my departed friends!

Lyric Man Date: 7/25/2018 9:54:00 PM DT.. everyday this story is played out. No promise each morning to make it to sunset. We live best when we live in that reality!

Tom Cunningham Date: 7/25/2018 9:45:00 AM Watching it on the news last night was truly heartbreaking to see. May those poor souls rest in peace and prayers for all those affected by it. Tom Login to Reply Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 7/25/2018 10:48:00 AM Yes, it is devastating to say the least especially when we know that it was mainly the state's incompetence which caused that much damage! Even today there is no co-ordination of anything! Imagine they had hired a number of handicapped people (up to 40% handicapped) trained them for a month and off they went to be firefighters ! That is what it was written! In many cases fire engines didn't even have water to fight the flames! POLITICS! Thank you!
