TO LEAD WITH LOVE
No pain…no gain. That’s insane! You’d think we were functioning on half a brain. In a world where doing takes the reign, We skuttle for pain relief, like Advil or Vervaine. A new paradigm, we must entertain. Before we ravage like a hurricane Or take down with a ball and chain Our own internal Charlemagne. […]
