They Think They’re All Powerful (Bussokusekika)



They Think They’re All Powerful   (Bussokusekika)

Nobody is safe
From the dark powers that be
I will not fear them
Why on Earth should they fear me
I’m a low life nobody
They Think They’re all powerful

About this poem

I am beginning to wonder IF I really do have any invisible friends…I wonder IF They are more powerful than the almighty powers that be of this world???As IF the Catholic Church is the red dragon…And as IF Pope John Paul II is mentioned in Revelation 13:3…WHO KNOWS?Then again…The Holy Bible may just be a silly old book..,And I may not be the Holy Ghost…IF poisons don’t succeed…I wonder what ya’ll all mighty powers that be may have in store for me next???Let’s get this show rolling…I have a funeral to attend…What IF it is my own!!!LOL

    One could come to the conclusion that this needs to be rewritten. There are some lines that could be made much better such as lines two and five. As the poem is now it read very amateurly.
