My Recovery Gratitude
Restored to the right path I’m thankful to Almighty God for delivering me from some of the worst pits humanity has to offer. Whether of my own making or the inventing of others.

Money Destroys The World
The love of money is the root of all evil. When you look at history it should be obvious that the rich and powerful have destroyed people and the creation from the dawn of time.

Escape
Just go to where I belong. I want to escape from here,and not care to look back.To where I’m truly known,and free to be, me.

That Butterfly Life
I’ll Fly Away This miserable world,Where loved ones lie. Where the innocent suffers,And the good ones die. Where hunger hurts,And the body aches. Where sadness prevails,And fear takes control.
