&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;This is a new month and a new week and my heart seems to be troubled yet. How i despise a personality that does not awaken a sense of wonder, a status quo, a personality that does not inspire the sense of wonder. My heart is sunken and feels agitated at the thought of how this little world works. I&#39;m no saint but i see how wrong and unfair the situation is. I guess my only consolation is not to complain just continue doing what i do best. Working hard for the love of humanity.The only way i know how to. Forgive my intelligence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;This moment lost in less thoughts of my own. Who would like to get lost in this moment, my moment. Caving in into a heart and mind, deep and shallow. Who will tell me. The moments of inspiration and imagination last as much as one has a breath of hope. Strength just kicks it. Surprised at the possibility of a much more beautiful heart and mind one can have.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Walk with me and let us see where the wind of time will have us land.
