"Mama, It's Still Circling" *
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
There are mothers who are condemned to needlessly cry throughout the land.
This time the focus is on the mother of Nolan Xavier Wells!
Say his name.
"Mama...It's Still Circling"
is a piece that seeks to illuminate the deaths of our young men and women whose lives are "snuffed out" without adequate explanation.
Whether the cause is alleged suicide or being seemingly abandoned on an island-no investigation or cursory explanation adequately soothes t minds of those left behind.
Now there seems to be no effort to lull US into believing that things have changed.
We know that things have not changed.
It is sadly evidenced by the torrent of tears that awash cities, towns, villages, and hamlets and that perpetually flow-seemingly intent to carry us into the past.
Still...we win...WE WIN!!!
OUR SPIRIT...LIVES!
PEACE!
