Act IV Duty

One of my favorite things about my job as an RP in support of the FMF deployment to Camp Lemonier was the humanitarian work. We made such an impact, it was an awesome experience to be part of. My job was to coordinate visits to three orphanages and work with the orphanage leadership on construction…

Where Will I Be

Looking in the mirror I see You, Lord, Looking back at me, High, drunk, enraged, full of anxious fear, oh Lord, Where do I go, What do I say, Do I just let go, Or, do I stay, How can I go on, oh Lord? My life has gone by me, All this time lost,…

Freedom, a full blown feeling of exuberant joy. No more being held back by the controlling hand of false prophets and evil preachers. Power hunger feeds those wolves. Beware the sheep, they bite hard and tend to leave unforgivable marks.
