But not sure what it is, how it looks, or feels.

It's too bad people want to paint pictures they can't truly interpret while tolerating the destruction of our existence and everything around us

And it is really weird that faith leaders are mostly silent in regards to the atrocities occurring in front of our eyes now here and afar. As if, they lack a constitution and faith driven courage to stand up against the devil's work.

All in all....we're just Sea Monkeys left in the tank and the creator is off to something new
