Why On This Earth Should I Stay (Bussokusekika)

Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)



Why On This Earth Should I Stay   ( Bussokusekika)

It wouldn’t matter
IF I moved to Mexico
The powers that be
Control that country as well
I’d be better off leaving
Why on this earth should I stay

About this poem

The mark of the beast has corrupted this entire planet…The all mighty powers that be squeeze the poor for every cent they can get…IF a parent doesn’t pay up they go after one’s loved ones to collect…Of course I could be wrong…I don’t believe I really need anything that this world has to offer…As IF This world needs anything that I have to offer it…Oh well…I guess we will just have to wait and see what the final outcome will be…There is still time to return my signet seal and change your course…I really don’t know how much longer my invisible friends will continue to extend their hand unto mankind…
