Hey What’s Your Name?
Im carefully stepping over the pieces of the shells that had exploded someone’s life months ago...I try to look out for the new, poisonous ones who are hiding their evil horns so they can blow up another innocent, young life into countless shreds of flesh.The mines won’t listen to your prayers and they don’t give a slightest thing about mercy,They want to blow you up and devour your blood while...
