Have masons set the plubline

Or by the hand of I Am

About this poem
This one came to mind after reading several passages…Amos 7 mainly 7:8, Isaiah 9 mainly 9:2…I wonder IF 9:4 has anything to do with the injury to my right shoulder caused by my friends at American Home Products, Isaiah 13 mainly 3&5…Pay special atttntion to 13:5…Daniel 12, and Psalms 72…As IF Psalms 72 has anything at all to do with King Solomon’s Mines…Oh well…Return my signet seal and repent and turn from your foreign God’s that you have created with your hand or come to discover IF there is really such a thing as The Wrath of God…Amen and Amen…And his hand is stretched out still…Who may understand any of life’s little mysteries…
