Doesn't need music. It's powerful enough as written.

Wonderfully conceived and executed indictment of the horrors of 47 and his ilk. Reminds me of Greek Chorus in the ancient morality plays. Bravo.

absolutely brilliant - wish everyone could see it. The killing of the puppy was the horror of what this woman really is - unbelievably cruel to an innocent animal. She is a disgrace and an embarrassment to all of us.

Who wrote that? It bothers me that so many of your pieces are unsigned.

This was extremely creative, I literally had to read it out loud. By the time I got near the end my heart was pounding and I was yelling it. Whoever you are, your writing is inspiring, heartfelt, funny, it’s an experience! ♥️
