I was just trying to be a human

All my means are sane, my motive and my object mad.

About Me

I lost my way, I forgot to call on your name. The raw heart beat against the world, and the tears were for my lost victory. But you are here. You have always been here. The world is all forgetting, and the heart is a rage of directions, but your name unifies the heart, and the world is lifted into its place. Blessed is the one who waits in the traveller's heart for his turning. .."They said we could escape, but that we would die alone because our Fathers, our mothers.. had all been killed already." -- Freed Acholi boyhttp://ugandarising.com/informationpiece.html
