‘’ When silence is no more golden, you speak the truth’’ When I was a kid, all my parents could tell me was to keep my observations to myself- Since I was in the gathering of adult.    Times past, I see evils that men commit on daily basis, but I’m bound to keep them to myself, since its tagged ‘disrespect’ or ‘insubordination’ to authorities.
