Judgment's coming ... or ...
Ecclesiastes 7:1
Life is Brief and Death is certain!
7 A good reputation is better than precious perfume;
likewise, the day of one’s death is better than the day of one’s birth.
Judgment’s coming … or …
Dream on the night is fleeting … moving at the speed of thought.
It won’t be long before the trumpets … announce finality of an era gone.
Walls of our constant beating in the investments ... that we so often sought
as all the beds of ease so woven … will all then at last be forgone.
Power descending from up high … from far beyond our comprehension
as to slippery uncertain ropes … most everyone will try to hang on.
In the constant wonder “why?” … waist deep in past pretension
of their chosen absurdity … in hope judgment will move on.
Jan Wienen
