Highway

Highway For a man who left a legacy, photographs, and his motorcycle behind. We’ve all to take the highway to a hallowed heaven someday. Life’s luggage left at the bus stand.

I always got into arguments that had absolutely no purpose. An argument, simply for the sake of arguing. Picking sides in a battle because I had to be right.
