Minimalist Quotes

The bullet you
don't shoot
yet
will be

The stone you
don't throw

one day...

Only reality is

who doesn't

Trash and luxury
are slips

The biggest betrayal
is to be stabbed
in the back by
yourself...

for
a muse is a muse is 

but 
don't 
include 
my Musa

Most crimes have foundations of desperation- disdain-hate.
What is your foundation made of?
Are you desperate-do you hate?
Would you take a life for a hit of crystal meth. 
Is your hate based on jealousy-revenge?
What happened to prayer and discipline?

What about the criminally insane.
Do we let them work out their kinks across the neck of society.
