MORE … Than That … !!!    
    
So ask yourself … ?  
    
What can you do … ?  
to … BETTER … things ...  
for … ME … and … YOU … !!!  
    
" Going " …

from … " Smart Remarks " … !!!!!  
    
While you sit …  
in your … " Phat Yard " … !!!!!  
    
Those who … do this ..  
" Think " ... They're Smart … !!!!!  
    
Until ... Their World ...  
is … " RIPPED " … apart … !!!!!  
    
Nowadays ….  
in … Many Ways … !!!  
    
Natures' ANGER'S …
