I am speechless.

All the bullshitting and lies

Are they so arrogant,

egocentric and oblivious to the fact that people see through their lies and are angry?

It was a pointless death

I saw what I saw.

heard what you said.

They don't match.

I don't believe my ears

but I do believe my eyes.

I am mad,

sad,

angry,

appalled.

I am speechless.

    Blocking the flow,
