21. Wow, that made me cry...

Nov 2012

and looking at the worn seams of the pant pockets of the female officer... I would bet my tears on the possibility that she and her fellow officers could probably use someone to stand up for them and their "take home pay" as well as their health care, retirement, child care...you name it... what do you need me to stand with you for, I will do it, whatever it is... I am humanity, I sleep under your stars, you breathe my air, I should do no less ...
