Will Mankind Live Ir Perish (Bussokusekika)

Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)



Will Mankind Live Or Perish   (Bussokusekika)

My job is complete
I’ve done as you’ve requested
It’s your turn Father
I do not want to rush you
But I await your verdict
Will mankind live or perish

About this poem

I don’t know how much longer My Father will postpone his final verdict…I guess that he is still hoping beyond hope that my imaginary signet seal will be returned to me and my imposed recommendation for punishment might be changed…But I personally am not going to hold my breath because I don’t believe that mankind has learned a thing from everything that has happened to them in their history…Some people just never learn from their mistakes…In a way it’s a shame…Oh well…
