Analysis of A Oldie But A Goodie
Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)
An Oldie But A Goodie
Here is wisdom
Everyone should know
We all gather fruits
From the seeds we sow
We sow the seeds
All of our days
And the fruits thereof
Help guide our ways
So sow the seeds
Which you know are right
And the fruits thereof
Will lead to the light

About this poem
I remembered this one after reading Jeremiah 50… Can I really be the man of sin as some might believe…Well in a way I may have been at one point…When I made a covenant with the kind folks at American Home Products and gave them the keys to the bottomless pit…I was on a mission and I was trying to find a loophole which might allow the rich into the kingdom of heaven…Well needless to say the covenant was broken and greed has run rampant ever since…Oh well…Can this truly be the final judgement of all of mankind???Well…That is a question that only mankind can answer…I have already judged mankind and My Father is currently in the process of issuing his punishment…How much worse might things get???Well…That all depends on mankind…
