    I've washed my hands of religion

  • Awareness.

    It's so hard now days to sort out the lies from the truth, so we have to be aware, never take anyone's word for granted,for if something doesn't feel right,then it's most probably wrong.

    were truth wears a crown.
    Where freedom is born
    and lies make no sound.
