2- physical poets:
    are they sculptors, dancers or

3- Another mass shooting and yes,
    guns don’t kill people, people do.

    hands. So do nothing, just complain.

     As George Costanza once said on Seinfeld,
     “It’s only a lie if you think it’s a lie.”

1- One more good man on earth is better than an extra angel in heaven. – Chinese proverb

2- how can a father
    show his son to do what

     Can you?
     Is this what religion is? Blind faith.
