So why are we taken by surprise when people leave us?
Probably because we know it happens but we still never expect it to happen to us or those we know.
If there is anything we surely know about the heart of man,
That would be its capacity for wickedness.
Yet, man's wickedness surprises me all the time.
I've tried to prepare myself for horrible things 'cause all is not rosy in life.
But how do you prepare for someone you know, someone you saw almost everyday,
Getting shot in the head and left on the road to die?
How do you prepare for getting the news?
How do you stop yourself crying even as you know it won't bring him back?
How do you say "there's a time to live and a time to die?" when you never expected his time to come so soon?
Life is so volatile.
That's why we shouldn't ever take anything or anyone for granted.
Live everyday like it's the last, love everyone like you'll never see them again.
RIP Charles (Charlie Wilson) & Levi, gunned down September 4th, 2011.
