I can TELL <br>that this is NOT going to be EASY. <br><br>EVERYONE I see is TRYING to BUILD <br>up Their Walls and SHUT themselves <br>OFF from EVERYTHING. Don't you SEE <br><br>The PAIN that it BRINGS? Reality. <br><br>It's become A Parody, of itself. Crashing <br>Car. Bee-line. Wayward. Reckless. CAR <br>CRASHING through CROWD of PROTEST. <br><br>Do you THINK that makes YOUR SIDE The Best? <br><br>And even so, it is NOT Violence, that <br>we WANT. Don't be CAUGHT within <br>The Talons.
