Current Events

The silence before the storm never gets old. Quaking in your boots, fists clenched. Heavy breathing filled with anticipation. Is today the day you live, or you die? Who knows. By the end of today, you’ll either be dead or so grateful you are alive- that you never question those moments of peace.

But when all you want is peace, you should prepare to face the man whose face is of greed. Who knows when you’ll sleep in your bed again– the one your parents scraped up to by on your 8th birthday.

Who knows if you’ll live to see tomorrow? –Even if you do, do you think you’ll ever see the face of your loved ones again?

Especially when people are only able to standby in ignorance or comfort to do nothing simply because it doesn’t directly affect them.
