You’ve Been Given Every Chance (Bussokusekika)
Tick tock tick tock tick
Man’s time is ticking away
There is not much left
My job is almost finished
You’ve been given every chance
That My Father could give you

About this poem
This one was inspired by Jeremiah 25…Well all mighty powers that be…My Father wants me to let ya’ll know that I won’t be enjoying your special instant coffee for much longer…Oh well…I wonder how special it really is???I guess that it too is just another one of life’s little mysteries…Wonderful weather we’re having, isn’t it???Ya’ll can continue to claim it is nothing more than climate change all you want…I wonder IF My Father Will really destroy the entire earth and ever creature on it???I guess that only time will tell…After all…Ya’ll can’t say that I didn’t warn ya’ll…It’s not as IF I didn’t do a good job for him…After all…A man cannot serve two masters…I sure hope that whoever has my signet seal continues to believe that it is nothing more than a good luck charm…LOL
