Prostrate Number Two of 2008, Troy Caperton
A reproduction of a work by Troy Caperton, “Prostrate Number Two” of 2008. There are times when a young man feels bowed by the misfortunes of life. But it is only when reduced to the naked bareness of existence that we can realize the power to rise up to new glories. Without Down there can be no Up.
