Note:
Detail is of the portion of the mural on the far right. Text reads, "Life's a jungle is about the obstacle's and battles
that life gives. "Extra Extra read all about it" Monday I read an armed man fired into a crowd killing several innocent people
the perpetrator was never captured it was suspected as gang related Tuesday a car bombing set to kill a navy captain was suspected
as a terrorist act. Wednesday man finds himself jumping off a bridge soon after he was terminated from his job. Thursday
fruit from Chile found poisoned million's stop eating fruit. Friday man just got paid he was on his way home when he was
confronted by a male who asked for the time and forced jewelry and money from the victim and left to suffer from loss. Family
lose's home on Saturday caused by fire authorities say the fire was caused by arson. Sunday I took a break from this jungle--
so until the jungle's obstacle's pass i'll stay to wonder if life will ever last. PEACE..."
