Until His Seal Is Returned (Bussokusekika)

Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)



Until His Seal Is Returned   (Bussokusekika)

Once upon a time
A man was chosen by God
And given a seal
The seal was stolen from him
Now mankind must pay a price
Until his seal is returned

About this poem

To some…This poem is nothing more than a fairy tale…To others it is their worst nightmare and to some it is jest a joke…I sure hope my signet seal is returned to me soon, before it is too late…
