Oh Mighty Powers That Be (Bussokusekika)

Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)



Oh Mighty Powers That Be   (Bussokusekika)

I believe my friends
Responded to my message
They woke me last night
Am I the next Elijah
Will they take me from this Earth
Oh mighty powers that be

About this poem

This one was inspired by Revelation 18:23…I don’t know how much time mankind has left…I hope my friends are not only going to give me 3 chances to join them…I personally am tired of mankind’s perfect Utopia and miss the short time that I spent with them on their craft…Oh well…I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens…
