Beyond Expectation

Losing Faith (with audio)

I’m losing faith in humanity… A man has an affair while his wife goes through menopausefucking a woman twenty years younger thinking he’s a hero for staying married A ‘Christian’ spews hate from their mouth condemning anyone who lives differently while loudly proclaiming God is love A woman sits with her friends gossiping about another poison filling the air while sheContinueContinue reading “Losing Faith (with audio)”
