Was Metaphor Actually Good?

If you resonate at all with Metaphor's foundations, messages or beliefs then you should take the time to educate yourself about the conflicts taking place across the world. I'm certainly not as educated as I should be, but it doesn't take long to inform yourself and others. If you can donate to anyone in need, please do.
