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???
