As The Firstborn Of Egypt (Bussokusekika)

Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)



As The Firstborn Of Egypt   (Bussokusekika)

My Father proclaims
As my son has been sentenced
So too has mankind
You mighty powers that be
Have the time you’ve given me
As the firstborn of Egypt

Edwin Tanguma   Aka   Dagesh

About this poem

It has been stated that there is “Nothing to fear but fear itself”…I wonder how much more time mankind has proclaimed that I have left to live???As IF mankind has really decided to kill me at all costs…LOL…Oh well…I sure hope that ya’ll enjoy whatever time that you have remaining…There is still time to repent and change your path…I personally don’t believe that my signet seal will be returned to me…What do ya’ll think???I wonder IF this is what is meant by their fate was sealed???
