Fight or flight

Hasan Johnson 1980 (Peoria Illinois)



Airplanes were made to fly
not land
God created everything
Not man
Give credit where credit is due
The only thing that will set you free is the truth
Times are tough
Life is hard
Reap and sow the harvest rewards
Enjoy your life as best as you can
Share your belongings and you might make a friend
Find a good book it may offer a good read
Helping others may help with your needs
Laugh and cry and laugh again
When it’s fight or flight who cares who wins
