God Bless the Child

God Bless The Child/! Billie Holiday, Jimmy Holiday, Arthur Herzog Jr
Then that's got shall have them that's not shall lose
So the Bible said, and it still is news Mama, may have, papa may have
But God, bless the child that's got his own That's got his own
Yes, the strong gets more While the weak one's fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade Mama, may have, papa may have
But God, bless the child that's got his own That's got his own

Columbine High School, April 20, 1999, 35 people massacred. Virginia Tech, April 16, 2007, 32 people massacred!

Dead kids, dead parents, dead adults, and oh yeah very little if any change in Gun Laws.

April 10, 2019: Texas lawmakers are considering a bill that would ban abortion in the state and charge women who have abortions with homicide, which can carry the death penalty in the state.

The state legislature believes the rapist and the incest male should have co-parenting rights with the children.

Rich relations give Crusts of bread and such You can help yourself But don't take too much
