And tries all their best to blindfold every...

Abe Lincoln As A democrat
© Ben Burton 8-25-2014

Starting off researching in pharmacology
Slow solid progress, but make no apology

My mother’s eyes, my father’s mind

I think of stuff all night
Sometimes I think stupid

Not to complain or ask for a thing

Ones that quickly devour an entire hour
Discussing your own behavior

I am non religious 
And believer in God
But my guilt is that
