Innocent souls are increasing, Hour by hour, minute after minute It has become like Malaria, not anymore a fear amongst us. It is that eye that leaves a lot to desire. Whose fault is it? No one is to blame but you You! Take control of your destiny. She needs your love and smile. That eye... « return. |
