    There’s no word that can communicate how much it hurts to know that there are people who would kill just about anyone including KIDS for the sake of SENSELESS reasons.

    I came across the pictures of the people that were killed in recent MASSACRE in Guyana in one of the local newspaper in Queens, NY and just looking at the dead bodies – covered in blood, inner body parts showing from one child – made me speculate – what gives another person the right to take lives?

    Ray Charles (God Bless his Soul) can see through this.
    More to come.
