But I won’t

Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)

Goodnight people
I’m tired of words
Disappearing
Into your void
I believe I will find solace
Far away from your influence
But I believe
I already know
That there is no distance
Beyond your reach…
Oh well…How far
Is My Father’s reach???
I could give you my interpretation of Daniel 2
But I won’t…

About this poem

Q&A can be a bit** at times…Oh well…Keep on suckling on your milk and just maybe one day you may start chewing on the meat…I would like to say Hello to all of Mike’s friends who may be visiting from treasurenet.com including those of you who may be members of JW.org…
