Man’s Fate Is In The Balance (Bussokusekika)

Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)

Man’s Fate Is In The Balance   (Bussokusekika)

Who knows how much time
Is left for the human race
I’ve begun to bleed
Man’s fate is in the balance
IF I die it will be sealed
I hope there’s an antidote

About this poem

This one is just a silly poem about what humanity has done to my body…Oh well…All of this could be nothing more than total bs…I guess that we will just have to wait and see…I sure hope it is just my hemorrhoids…For the sake of humanity…As If aliens would kill every human being on this planet…I wonder IF such a thing is even possible???
