Yet Another Damn War

It's seven in the morning The sun's shining bright What more could we ask What a glorious sight Sure great to be living On old planet Earth There's no greater feeling Than a new day's birth Some wake with a frown With a miserable face With all that we have That's an utter disgrace The one's that are fortunate Are the ones that can laugh Their world's in the dumper But they know it will pass The sun will come out We'll be singing once more As we come to the end of Yet another damn war! © Jack Ellison 2014

Morning Jack. Last night in North County (a small ways away from where I live) there was looting and a building was burned. They hit Walmarts, Shoe Carnavel, Quik Trip, KMart, a Liquor store, ect. Big store places. I kept Dragon home... It's sad they would destroy around their homes like that... At Hubby's work place the power went out and they robbed their cafeteria of food and drinks, too. St. Louis is becoming a cesspool. It's sad... Very sad... The World is what people make it and many are fools.

That is absolutely disgusting that these so called humans act this way! They need to be locked up for a very long long time...they are not entitled to call themselves part of the human race! DISGUSTING!!!
